Overview

Excerpt from Is Higher Farming a Remedy for Lower Prices? Upon the land manured With mineral superphosphate for the Swedes, the removal of about 8 tons of roots (and the tops) has reduced the produce of barley to 28% bushels, or to nearly 3 bushels less than the lowest unmanured produce; whilst the consumption of the Swedes on the land has raised the produce to nearly 40 bushels. The exhaustion of the soil by the re moval of the roots is thus equal to the loss of more than bushels of barley. Turning to the complex manure plots, it will be seen that, although from the portion from which the roots were carted a much larger quantity was removed than from the correspond ing portion of the superphosphate plots, still the crop of barley was very much greater. -it was, in fact, about 135 bushels more than where the superphosphate roots were removed, and even from 1 to 2 bushels more than where the superphosphate roots were consumed upon the land.
