la the table of results presented below it will be noted that after ploughing for 

 summer-fallow the application of the sub-surface packer greatly increased yields. Of 

 the three different methods of packing after seeding in the spring the surface packer 

 this year gave best results. 



Harrowing the grain after it was up about six inches produced a higher yield than 

 rolling or packing it at that period of growth.
