ROTATION ' P.' 



This rotation is of three year's duration and includes grain, clover hay, and 

 timothy hay or mixed hay. 



The field intended for grain is ploughed early the previous fall and cultivated at 

 intervals to insure the sod rotting. It is again ploughed late in the fall and left till 

 seed time next spring. With the grain is sown ten pounds clover and ten pounds timo- 

 thy. 



Manure is applied in the fall of the first year of hay. 



Pi. — This field was supposed to be under hay, but was frozen out in the winter 

 and had to be seeded down again. It gave a crop of oat, pea and vetch hay this year. 



P2. — This field was in grain (oats) ; the crop suffered from the fact of a part of 

 the field being of a peaty nature. Allowance was made in making calculations. 



P3. — The field was frozen cut in the winter and this year gave a crop of oat, 

 pea and vetch bay.
