The remaining twelve varieties, re-sown June 13, were a comiilete failure, owing to winds, dry 

 weather and frost. 



FIELD AND ACRE PLOTS. 



Twelve varieties were sown on fallow-land, and, in addition, Sidney, one of the 

 same varieties, was sown on Brome back-setting. The soil was clay loam. All but 

 Sidney were destroyed. Seven of the fallow plots were re-sown on June 4, and the 

 balance on June 13. 



The varieties sown on the former date ripened ; the latter were cut for fodder, 

 after frost on September 13.
