TEST OF SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME ON INDIAN CORN. .

 and the superphosphate was applied broadcast alongside of the hills wheii the corn was 

 three or four inches high.

EXPERIMENTS WITH TURNIPS. 



Twenty-nine varieties of turnips have been under trial during the past season. 

 Two sowings of each sort were made ; the first on May 22, the second on June 5, in 

 rows two feet apart, and all were pulled on October 24. 



The soil was sandy loam on whicn grain had been grown the previous year. After 

 the grain was harvested the land was disc-harrowed, and later a dressing of barn-yard 

 manure was applied and thoroughly worked into the soil. In the spring it was ploughed 

 and harrowed and brought into a good condition of tilth before sowing. 



The yield per acre has been calculated from the weight of roots gathered from two 

 rows, each 66 feet long.
