The _ninth_ season (1851-2), was unusually cold in June and wet in August. It will be seen that the wheat, both in quant.i.ty and quality, is the poorest since the commencement of the experiments. The unmanured plot gave less than 14 bushels of dressed grain per acre; the plot with barn-yard manure, less than 28 bushels, and the best yield in the whole series was not quite 29 bushels per acre, and only weighed 55 lbs. per bushel. On the same plot, the year before, with precisely the same manure, the yield was nearly 37 bushels per acre, and the weight per bushel, 63 lbs. So much for a favorable and an unfavorable season.
The _tenth_ season (1852-3), was still more unfavorable. The autumn of 1852 was so wet that it was impossible to work the land and sow the wheat until the 16th of March 1853.
You will see that the produce on the unmanured plot was less than 6 bushels per acre. With barn-yard manure, 19 bushels, and with a heavy dressing of ammonia-salts and minerals, not quite 26 bushels per acre.
With a heavy dressing of superphosphate, not quite 9 bushels per acre, and with a full dressing of mixed mineral manures and superphosphate, 10 bushels per acre.
The weight per bushel on the unmanured plot was 45 lbs.; with mixed mineral manures, 48 lbs.; with ammonia-salts alone, 48 lbs.; with barn-yard manure, 51 lbs.; and with ammonia-salts and mixed mineral manures, 52 lbs.
Farmers are greatly dependent on the season, but the good farmer, who keeps up the fertility of his land stands a better chance of making money (or of losing less), than the farmer who depends on the unaided products of the soil. The one gets 6 bushels per acre, and 1,413 lbs. of straw of very inferior quality; the other gets 20 to 26 bushels per acre, and 5,000 lbs. of straw. And you must recollect that in an unfavorable season we are pretty certain to get high prices.
The _eleventh_ season (1853-4,) gives us much more attractive-looking figures! We have over 21 bushels per acre on the plot which has grown eleven crops of wheat in eleven years without any manure.
With barn-yard manure, over 41 bushels per acre. With ammonia-salts alone (17_a_), 45 bushels. With ammonia-salts and mixed minerals, (16_b_), over 50 bushels per acre, and 6,635 lbs. of straw. A total produce of nearly 5 tons per acre.
The _twelfth_ season (1854-5), gives us 17 bushels of wheat per acre on the continuously unmanured plot. Over 34 bushels on the plot manured with barn-yard manure. And I think, for the first time since the commencement of the experiments, this plot produces the largest yield of any plot in the field. And well it may, for it has now had, in twelve years, 168 tons of barn-yard manure per acre!
