EXPERIMENTS WITH PEASE. 



The field used for the test of varieties of pease suffered severely from the flooding 

 of the Assiniboine Pviver, and only ten varieties out of the fifty-seven were harvested. 



The size of the plots for this test was one-twentieth acre and the soil a rich clay 

 loam, summer-fallowed. 



All were sown on May 1.3 and 14.
