EXPERIMENTS WITH PEASE. 



There were fifty-seven varieties of pease tested this year. All were sown on April 

 3, on sandy loam, on plots measuring one-fortieth of an acre each. The land was in 

 fine condition, but shortly after the ]3ease were sown heavy rains began and continued 

 many days, and thej^ were injured to a considerable extent, many of them decaying in 

 the ground. When the earliest varieties were beginning to ripen, the cut-worm came, 

 and in some cases almost destroyed the crop.
