Eelow will bo found particulars of this j^ear's experiment; also the returns of a 

 similar test for 1890. It will be noticed that this year's results confirm those of 

 last year, and it is quite evident that ou land similar to that of this farm drill sow- 

 ing has a decided advantao-e over broadcasting. 



Test of D.ills with Wheat and Barley on summer fallow ; soil, clay loam. 



WHEAT. 



Test of Thick and Thin Seeding. 



The experiment undertaken in 1890 to determine the proper quantity of seed 

 to be used with the diffei'cnt kinds of grain was repeated during the past seapon, 

 with very similar i-esults. Seven pecks of wheat again gave the largest yield, while 

 the results with oats and barley vary little from last year's test. All the plots were 

 sown with the common drill ; soil, rich .sandy loam.
