OATS— TEST OF VAEIETIES IN FIELD LOTS. 



Four varieties of oats were sown in field lots on April 24, on rather lower and 

 heavier clay loam than that on which the variety tests were conducted. The straw 

 grew an extremely heavy crop and the heads were of good size, but did not develop 

 a good quality of grain ; owing to the heavy straw growth and lower land ,they did not 

 ripen before frost. There was no rust on these plots.
