---------+------------------------------------------------------
[A] "3-1/2 cwts. Superphosphate of Lime"--in all cases, made from 200
lbs. Bone ash, 150 lbs. Sulphuric acid sp. gr. 1.7 (and water).
[B] Sulphate Potass--300 lbs. per annum for the first 6 years,
1852-7.]
[C] Sulphate Soda--200 lbs. per annum for the first 6 years, 1852-7.
[D] The "Ammonia-salts"--in all cases equal parts of Sulphate and
Muriate of Ammonia of Commerce.
[E] Plots "AA" and "AAS"--first 6 years, 1852-7, instead of Nitrate
of Soda, 400 lbs. Ammonia-salts per annum; next 10 years, 1858-67,
200 lbs. Ammonia-salts per annum; 1868, and since, 275 lbs. Nitrate
of Soda per annum. 275 lbs. Nitrate of Soda is reckoned to contain the
same amount of Nitrogen as 200 lbs. "Ammonia-salts."
[F] Plots "AAS"--the application of Silicates did not commence until
1864; in '64-5-6, and 7, 200 lbs. Silicate of Soda and 200 lbs.
Silicate of Lime were applied per acre, but in 1868, and since, 400
lbs. Silicate of Soda, and no Silicate of Lime. These plots comprise,
respectively, one half of the original "AA" plots, and, excepting the
addition of the Silicates, have been, and are, in other respects,
manured in the same way as the "AA" plots.
[G] 2000 lbs. Rape-cake per annum for the first 6 years, and 1000
lbs. only, each year since.
[H] 300 lbs. Sulphate Potass, and 3-1/2 cwts. Superphosphate of Lime,
without Nitrate of Soda, the first year (1852); Nitrate alone each
year since.
[I] Sulphate Soda--200 lbs. per annum 1855, 6, and 7.
