The land on which the trial was made was in fine condition, with almost straight rows, having been planted with " Haworth's CheckRow Planter." The rows were worked at right angles to the time of dropping, and also diagonally. Had the land been in bad condition, and the test more exacting, the result might have been different; but good farming does not require a cultivator adapted to rough surfaces, and no such test is desired.
