PEAS. 



Seven varieties of field peas were grown on the farm. These were drilled in on 

 a sandy loam soil at the rate of three bushels per acre of the smaller varieties and 

 three and one-half bushels per acre of the larger ones. 



GRAIN SOWN ON STUBBLE LAND. 



As a large proportion of the crop of this Province is sown on stubble land, it was 

 thought a/Jvisable to test the different methods of sowing on stubble. 



It will be seen by the accompanying table, that wheat plowed in on oat^-tubble 

 gave a smaller return than that drilled in, but oats on the other hand succeeded best 

 when ploughed in, and oats following a crop of wheat yielded better than two 

 successive crops of oats. 



The plots were half an acre in area. Soil, a uniform stiff clay loam.
