Excerpt from Crop Yields From Illinois Soil Experiment Fields in 1933: Together With a General Summary for the Four-Year Period Ending in 1933 Soil management and treatment practices properly employed can do much to reduce variation in soil productivity and to uncover latent productivity that may exist. No single system of management or treat ment, however, can be expected to give the best results on all soils. Neither can an effective system at a particular time be expected to give the best results on a particular soil for all time to come. Systems of management and treatment must be adapted to the widely differing nature of soils. Broadly speaking, farmers are interested in the simplest system that will give the most satisfactory results. In order to test the effectiveness of different systems of soil treat ment on the yields of farm crops, the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station for a number of years has conducted field investigations in many sections of the state on extensive soil types differing widely in productiveness. Some investigations along this line have been in progress at Urbana since 1876; the first of the present outlying soil experiment fields were established in the fall of 1901. Some of the original fields are still in operation; some have been discontinued at one time or another for various reasons. During the crop season of 1932 twenty - six fields were in Operation.
