EXPERIMEXTAL FARMS 



5 GEORGE v., A. 1915 

 Applicatio7i of Barnyard 2Ianure for Barley. 



In this experiment a three-year rotation has been adopted as follows : — 



First year. — Summer-fallow. 



Second ydar. — Wheat, or barley where indicated. 



Third year. — Barley, or oats where indicated. Where barley follows summer- 

 fallow oats follow barley. 



Owing to the different cropping system? fol-lowed a comparison of all the 

 methods of application is somewhat difficult. Plots 2 and 4, in which barley is 

 sown on summer-fallow and followed by oats, must be considered apart from the 

 remaining plots where the barley is sov^n on wheat stubble which follows summer- 

 fallow. Barley and oats are valued at one cent and wheat at one and one-third 

 cents per pound and the average value per acre of the two crops taken, so that the 

 comparative results of the different methods of application may be clearly shown.
