Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Agricultural Experiment Station of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, Auburn, Alabama: Co-Operative Soil Test Experiments for 1892
In order that the experimenters and other farmers may bet ter understand the inquiry made upon the different plots, the cost Of the different materials used is given in the statement which follows. The calculations are made upon the cost laid down at Auburn. The local freights upon the packages re shipped to the depots of the experimenters would produce a false impression, since the average local rate Of freight charged upon the amount sent to each experimenter from Auburn to their depots exceeds five dollars per ton. Shipped in quantity, the freight to the various depots Of the experimenters would average little more than that from the factories to Auburn. Again, in estimating profits resulting from the use Of the dif ferent fertilizers, it will be more convenient to have a common standard Of comparison.
