1934

Now if the position of the plot in the field affects the flowering date so that the plots flowered at different times we would expect the dispersion of the frequency array to be decreased by adopting the second of the above arrangements for we have eliminated differences due to position and made all the plots commence flowering together. [...] (POONA) (ASSISTANTS IN AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY) INTRODUCTION I N the preceding paper of this number of The Tropical Agriculturist (') are given the details of experiments carried out to determine the effect of different systems of cultivation on the yield of paddy and the general conclsions drawn from a simultaneous study of the chemical data and the yield figures. [...] No appreciable differences are observed in the composition at harvest of various parts of the differently treated crops though here again the percentages of phosphoric acid in the grain of the unmanured broadcast crops are lower than those of the corresponding manured and the transplanted crops. [...] The grain contains the greater proportion of the nitrogen and phosphoric acid and the straw the potash and lime of the crop. [...] If a number of leaves is gathered together in the hand by grasping the butts of the leaves and these are then shaken out and held upright; and if the leaves remain more or less erect it is a rough indication that the tobacco is in a safe keeping condition ; if on the other hand the leaves droop like the leaves of a palm it is unsafe to handle the tobacco.
