To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My own, I think, was injured from the same cause at least ten per cent. You will see by my statement, that I have used some guano. To test its value, four rows were planted without guano. These were harvested separately, and compared with four rows adjoin- ing. The result was at the rate of ten bushels to the acre in favor of guano, the corn being also sounder. In another exper- iment on swardland, where a table-spoonful of guano was put in each hill without any other manure, the result was nea...rly a total failure, yielding only at the rate of ten bushels to the acre, of sound corn, while the corn adjoining, planted with a shovelful of compost manure in the hill, yielded at the rate of thirty-eight bushels. The com treated with guano, although planted first, was behind the other through the season, and of course was more injured by the frost. I have used guano with potatoes, when a table-spoonful was put in the hill ; the result, as compared with a shovelful of manure in the hill, was as six bushels with guano to seven with manure, the potatoes being of equal quality.
