EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 



POTATOES. 



Ninety varieties were included in this test. The soil was a sandy loam, part of 

 which had been in rape and part sunflowers in 1901. It was fairly even in character 

 and the crop looked very vigorous in June and July, but later on suffered, somewhat 

 from the dry hot weather. The vines made a medium growth. 



Four rows of 100 feet in length were planted, the rows being 2| feet apart and the 

 sets 1 foot apart in the row, and the yield per acre computed from "the yield of 66 feet 

 of the two centre rows.
