SESSIONAL PAPER No. 16 



It will be noticed that the first seeding, April 11, and the last seeding, May 9, 

 gave the highest and next highest yiel^ respectively. This is a condition difficult 

 to account for. Throughout the season it appeared that the plot sown lirst had a 

 decided advantage over the plots sown on the four later dates, but when threshed out 

 the plot sown last yielded surprisingly high. 



RATES OF SEEDIXG. 

 Rates of Seeding Marquis Wheat on Summer-fallow. 



Two and one-quarter bushels per acre was the amount of seed giving the largest 

 yield. After the quantity of seed sown is deducted it will be seen that 1| bushels per 

 acre gave the largest net return. 



Rates of Seeding Banner Oats on Summer-fallow. 



It will be noted that 1^ bubhels per acre is the rate giving the highest yield. In 

 1912 seeding at the rate of one bushel per acre had a decided advantage over the lavo 

 heavier seedings used. The results of these two years' work would indicate the advis- 

 ability of using smaller quantities of seed oats per acre on well prepared land than is 

 at present done. Further Avork will be carried out in this connection.
