This amount varies widely, de-` pending`upon the quality ,of. the soil, the! season, the crop and other factors, but it is` interesting to learn in a general way its money value per ton. .

This is the average gross value of each ton of manure crediting the application of fifteen tons of manure with the entire value of the increased crop pro- duced overunmanured land during the thir- teen years of the experiment. This figure is not, of course, the real net value of. the: manure; the net value can be secured only when accpunit is taken of the cost of hand-. ling the increased crop, the cost of apply- _ing the manure to, the land, the interest charges and the share of the machinery chargesper acre. _When these factors are consideredthe average value of the manure is $1.28 per ton. It should be remembered, however,` that the larger cost of handling the increased crop and the cost of applying the manure are largel,v.labour costs which, in many cases, may be done by the farm` help by working additional hours. but with- out additional cash outlay. The larger yields per acre, produce results equivalent to owning a larger` farm and if the larger crops can `be handled without. extra help, practically all of. thegross value of the manure will be secured as increased net income. These labour. charges, the ma- ahinery charge and the. interest are used only in exact` accounting to learn. what to credit the live stock for each ton of manure or to know how.much to pay for manure in purchased off the farm; _ . the event it is . - na.L.... most at unlnntinb mnmu -A than tons peracre. the manure was worth gross,i I Illur. \ > ' CU -LUIUIIUU Lu UIJC Wlu` U1 101`: ' l W.(}.
