EXPEEIMENTS WITH PEASE. 



The plots of pease were on sandy loam. The previous crop having been turnips, 

 was manured with thirty one-horse cartloads of manure, and complete fertilizer, at 

 the rate of 200 pounds per acre. The land was plouglied after the root crop was 

 removed in the fall of 1899, and the following spring worked up hy going over it twice 

 with the spring-tooth, and once with the smoothing harrow. 



The seed was sown May 28, in one-fortieth acre plots. Complete fertilizer, at the 

 rate of 100 pounds per acre, was drilled in with the seed. Timothy and clover, at the 

 rate of 7 pounds Mammoth Red, 3 pounds Alsike Clover, and 12 pounds of Timothy 

 seed per acre, was also sown. 



The growth gave evidence of being a fine crop, but, as was the case last year, the 

 crop was greatly damaged by the pea aphis Nectarophora destructor, which infested
