DIFFERENT DATES OF SOWING. 



To lessen chances of error and to gain information as to the best time of sowing, 

 it was thought advisable to continue the experiment of sowing the different kinds of 

 grain at varying dates. 



It would appear, in a season similar to the past one, that both wheat and 

 barley succeed best when sown about the middle of April, this is about the date at 

 which the bulk of the wheat is usually sown in the Province, but it is much earlier 

 than it is customary to sow barley. 



Oats were also included in this experiment, but owing to wet weather the 

 harvesting of this grain was delaj'ed until the early sown was badly shed, and the 

 returns being inaccurate are not given. 



The plots were 1 acre for wheat, and J an acre for barley. Soil a clay loam. 



WHEAT. 



BARLEY.
