WHERE MANURE YIELDS MOST
Greatest Profits May Be Expected
Where Fertilizer Is Placed on
Poorest Soils.

Greatest profits may be expected
from a ton of manure when 1t is used
on the poorest soil on the farm.
The value of ton of manure when
used on soils of different fertility is
illustrated by two series of plots at the
Ohio experiment station. Corn with
out any fertilizer or manure has yield
ed 1907 bushels per acre for II years
In q rotation Of corn, oats and clover.
In another series not more than 40
rods away, the yield of corn for 10
years has averaged only 35.17 bushels,
the other crops Of the rotation being
wheat and clover. Originally the land
was the same, but Its treatment previ-
GUS to the time these experiments be-
gan made this difference In fertility.
Eight tons Of barnyard manure with
800 pounds Of raw phosphate rock per
acre has produced an Increase in corn
yield Of 3098 bushels on the poorer
soil. On the rich land the same appli-
cation with 1000 pounds of raw phos-
plate rock has increased the corn crop
only 17.S9 bushels per acre, even though
three times as much Of the phosphorus
carrier was added. The total yield on
the manure land has been nearly the
same In both cases.
