14 SCIENTIFIC REPORTS OF THE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH 



These plots will all be cropped with maize in kharif to 

 test the residual effect. 



(c) Experiments in collaboration with the Imperial 

 Mycologist for determining a method of dealing with die- 

 back (wilt) in the chilli crop wfcre started in the year under 

 report and will be continued. 



(d) Fourteen varieties of the more widely-known wheats

These trials will be continued next year from carefully 

 selected seed when Federation and other Australian wheats 

 which have done well in India will be brought in. 



(e) The experiments for testing yields of green fodder 

 with yields of seed and comparative economic value oil the 

 common leguminous crops were continued. Florida Beggar 

 weed, velvet and soy beans, veil (Dolichos Lablab), guar 

 (Cyamopsis psoraloides), math (Phaseolus aconitifolius) and 

 urid (Phaseolus radiatus) being tried in kharif, while white 

 and purple peas, khesari (Lathyrus sativus), mil and gram 

 varieties and math were sown in rabi. They will be 

 continued next year. 



(/) Experiments with Java and Sumatrana indigo were 

 carried on in collaboration with the Indigo Research 

 Chemist and the Imperial Agricultural Bacteriologist. 

 These will be continued over a period of years and the 

 results will be dealt with from time to time by the Indigo 

 Research Chemist and the Imperial Agricultural Bacterio- 

 logist in their respective reports. 



The testing of the remainder of the plots laid out in 

 Punjab Held continued. Crops for the various experts 

 were grown in North Pangarbi and a set of experiments on
