EXPERIMENTAL FARMS. 



3. In the test of Stubble vs. Fallow it is clearly demonstrated that fallowed-land 

 gives very much better returns, both in straw and yield, than stubble-land, no matter 

 how put in. 



4. The press-drill gave better results than ordinary drill. 



5. Two bushels of seed per acre gave a greater yield than the ordinary quantity, 

 2-| bushels, and cross-seeding, taking twice the labour at seeding time, was no better 

 than the plots sown in the usual way. 



PEASE. 



Twelve varieties of pease were sown on -£$ acre plots of fallow soil clay loam. Three 

 of these sorts were again sown in larger plots. 



All the kinds were short in straw and when threshed gave small yields, but the 

 sample was good in all cases.

GRASSES. 



Except on one variety, no satisfactory report can be made this year on grasses. 

 Out of 16 varieties sown in the spring of 1892, only one is now living. Several were 

 blown out and others dried out the first year and of the balance only two gave a crop in 

 1893, namely : Bromus inermis and Muhlenbergia sylvatica, the others being so short 

 it was impossible to cut them. 



All except Bromus inermis promised so poorly this spring that it was thought 

 advisable to plough them up ; consequently, only Bromus inermis is left to report on.
