Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experiments on Potatoes, at the Station, And, Experiments on Corn, at the Out-Stations It is stated in Bulletin No. 20 that the land upon which the experiment was made is a yellowish gray soil, and has probably been cultivated for more than filty years, being so completely 'worn out' that there was no profit. But an actual loss in its cultivation. The crop this year was almost a complete failure, caused by the nu favorable season, and the exhausted condition of the soil. The latter of these causes will be more particularly referred to when we come to speak of the productions of Plat I t. The first twelve rows of each plat were planted with Early Rose; the second twelve with White Star, and the third twelve with Beauty of Hebron. The first three rows of each. Variety were planted with whole potatoes, one In each hill, the hills three feet apart, making six hills in each row on each plat. The second three rows of each 'variety were planted with' halves cut lengthwise, one piece in each hill, the hills eighteen inches apart. The third three rows were planted with quarters cut lengthwise, one piece in each hill, the hills nine inches apart, and the fourth three rows of each variety were planted with pieces containing one eye each, three pieces in each hill, the hills nine inches apart, ' the object being to secure the same amount of seed in each row.
