EXPEEIMENTS WITH CAHROTS. 



More than an average yield of carrots was obtained this year. This root so much 

 relished by horses has given largely increased returns here since we have practised 

 deep ploughing. This appears to encourage a large development of root. 



Eleven varieties were tested. The first sowing was made on May 20 and the 

 teeond on June 3. All were harvested on October 4. 



The soil was a black sandy loam, fertilized in the fall of 1904 with ten loads of 

 v.ell rotted manure per acre. 



With one exception the early sown plots gave the largest yield. The yield ha? 

 teen calculated from the product jl two rows each 66 feet long.
