EXPERIMEXTS WITH PEAS (XOX-IRRIGATED). 



Nine varieties were tested. They were sown on backsetting. Altliough all of 

 them suffered quite materially during the drought in the early part of the season 

 they ai)i>eared to recover with the late rains so that the yields, considering the season as 

 a whctle, were good.
