EXPERIMENTS WITH FALL WHEAT. 



Twenty varieties of fall wheat were under trial last season. They were sown on 

 September 6, 1901, on a sandy loam of good quality in plots of one-fortieth of an acre 

 each. The grain was sown at the rate of If bushels per acre. 



All the varieties wintered well, made a strong and even growth and produced good 

 crops.
