EX 1'ERIMENTA L FA RMS. 



it was noticed then that the mixture containing the least quantities of oats gave the 

 most profitable return. 



This year a much smaller quantity of oats has been used and the combined yield 

 from two pecks oats and ten pecks of pease lias given a very profitable return, and the 

 grain stood up sufficiently well for the binder to work one way, the sheaves werestooked 

 and no loss was sustained from wind storms and no difficulty experienced in threshing 

 the combined crop with a separator, and any ordinary fanning mill will separate the 

 grain when threshed. The tests were conducted on clay loam on plots of one-tenth acre 

 each. 



For the best results a stiff strawed variety of oats ripening at the same date as the 

 pease should be used, and to enable the binder to be set low, the land should be well 

 rolled. 



Oats and Pease. 



Average Yield of Pease for four years.
