EXPERIMENTAL FARMS. 



Barley, Results of early, medium and late sowing. 



The barley plots for this test, were sown along side of the plots of barley for the 

 comparative test of varieties, and suffered also from water. Plots 1, 2 and 6 were a 

 little higher than 3, 4 and 5, and on this account gave better yields. The size of the 

 plots was -Jj of an acre each. The grain did not suffer from rust or smut. The varieties 

 chosen for the test were Canadian Thorpe a two-rowed sort and Oderbruch a six-rowed 

 variety.
