AVERAGE yield per acre for three years seeding op test of drill, broadcast and 



PRESS-DRILL. 



Showing in an average of three years, over three bushels per acre in favour of press- 

 drill vs. drill, and nearly 10 bushels in press-drill vs. broadcast. 



AVERAGE YIELD PER ACRE FOR THREE YEARS IN TEST OF SOWING WHEAT AT DIFFERENT 



DEPTHS. 



* 2 years. 



In 1893, the one inch in depth was destroyed by winds, so that in this test the 

 average is for two years only. The tests of one inch in depth show that depth to be not suffi- 

 cient to resist winds and dry weather. The three inches deep, the past year gave nearly 

 three bushels more per acre than either one or two inches, while the average for three 

 years is in favour of two inches by two bushels per acre. 



Cross-bred Wheats. 



In the cross-bred varieties of wheat little or no difference could be seen between the 

 different varieties while growing.
