EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



5-6 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 



The bulk plots 'of pease were threshed with the regular grain separator, but many 

 of the pease were cracked, and I would not recommend this plan when the grain is 

 wanted for seed purposes. 



Thirty varieties of pease were on trial this year. The soil was a clay loam 

 summer-fallowed. The size of the plots was one-twentieth acre. All were sown on 

 April 19 and 20, in the proportion of two bushels of seed per acre for the small kinds, 

 and three bushels for the larger pease.
