He points out that what the farmer wants to know is,- what is the least expense with which he can grow a good crop. He wanted to know how. to get a good crop of mangles—what quantity of manure to ■use'to get tho best all round results.

He wants to know why the' experimenter does not commence with j-ewt.-'to the acre, and give the farmer » chance* • ■■■,-'.'
