FIELD LOTS OF BARLEY. 



Nine varieties of barley were sown in field lots. Nearly all tlie yields were above 

 the average, and all the varieties gave a good sample. Mensury was sown on Brome 

 Grass sod, broken and back-set the previous year, and Canadian Thorpe was put in on 

 land which gave a root crop in 1904. Sidney was sown on fallow, and also on Brome 

 sod. The other kinds were all on fallow. All were sown on clay loam.
