Book Description

Excerpt from Eighth Annual Report of Rutgers' Scientific School, for Agriculture and Mechanic Arts: For the Year 1872 Plot 10, with 400 pounds of unleached wood ashes per acre, pro duces the same quantity of sound corn, with an extra bushel of nub bins per acre, as plot 1, without any manure at all; ashes, there fore, applied alone, may be said to have had no effect at all. On plot 3, 400 pounds of ashes and 100 pounds of plaster, give the same total number of bushels per acre as plot 2, with 100 pounds oi plaster alone. Plot 8, with 400 pounds of ashes and 150 pounds of sulphate of ammonia, yields three bushels of sound corn and five bushels of nubbins per acre, less than plot 4, with 150 pounds of sulphate of ammonia alone. This result may be ascribed to the fact already alluded to, the ashes dissipated some of the am monia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
