The crops on the various fields in this rotation in 1904 were uniformly fair; in 

 A 1, owing to a new spring appearing, nearly an acre of com was lost ; in 

 B 5 part of the field had been in pease in 1903, so had to be sown down to oat hay in 

 the spring, and the rest of the field had had no timothy sown with the clover in 1903, 

 and had in addition been tramped by the cattle in the fall of 1903, as it was not laiown 

 then that it would be in hay in 1904.
