To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of lime, soda, sulphuric add, and chlorine, the hay will also remove much more, and oi magnesia vaox^, than both grain and straw together (compare I with E and f). Oi phosphoric acid and silica alone will the total produce of the corn crops remove more than the hay crops (compare E and F with i). The soil at Rothamsted Park is a clay loam, with chalk sub- soil, and the effect upon such a soil of a complex fertihser like farmyard manure, supplying as it doubtless does much more of all the minera...l constituents than the crop takes up, is in a striking degree to increase the assimilation (compare columns ■G and h) of potash — notably also that oi phosphoric acid, and to some degree that of silica ; much more chlorine is also taken up. Indeed, the experiments prove that the supply by manure ■of potash has a more marked effect on the quantity, and on the botanical and chemical character, of the herbage of the hay ■crop than that of any other of the mineral or ash constituents. The establishment and successful maintenance of permanent -meadow land, from which year by year the hay crop is removed, require much care and perseverance.
