STUBBLE V8. FALLOW. 



Cream Egyptian was sown on stubble and fallow. That on fallow was destroyed. 

 On stubble drilled in it yielded 86 bush, per acre on 5 acres. 



TESTS OF DIFFERENT VARIETIES SOWN ON SAME DATE. 



Land fallowed ; sown with drill, 2^ bush, per acre ; one-tenth acre plots. 

 Twenty-five different plots were included in this test. All were sown on the 14th 

 April; were up from the 27th April to 1st May, but all were too much injured by 

 wind and frost in first week in May to admit of comparison. 



PEA TEST. 



Pease, like the barley and oats, were greatly damaged by the winds. The field 

 lots were entirely killed. The one-tenth acre plots were somewhat protected by 

 buildings and did not suffer so much, but were subsequently injured by heavy rains 

 which flooded part of the plots. 



Eesult of sowing on same date; land fallowed and in good condition. Black Eyes 

 and White Marrowfat, sown at the rate of 3 bushels ; the remainder, 2\ bushels 

 pei'acre; one-tenth acre plots.
