The land was manured in the fall with cow manure at the rate of about 10 to 12 tons per acre. It was very slow in drying out and was not fit to plow until the beginning of May, at which time it was plowed eight inches deep, between the dates May 2 and 5. It was harrowed and limed at the rate of about 15 bushels (1200 pounds) unslaked freshly burnt lime per acre. The lime was slaked to a fine powder and then spread and harrowed in. After this, on May 6, the following fertilizers were applied per acre: 240 lbs. acid phosphate, 12 per cent, available, cost. 120 lbs. dried blood, 16 per cent, available 120 lbs. muriate of potash $ $ Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cornell University.
