EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



5 GEORGE v., A. 1915 



;grown in two plots situated in different parts of the experimental field, and the yield- 

 ing power of each variety calculated from the average yield of the two plots. 



This method of duplicating the experiments has been introduced at the Central 

 Experimental Farm as well as at those branch Farms and Stations where comparative 

 tests are carried out. 



Although, of course, it is not possible to ascertain the value of the double-plot 

 system after only one year's' experience, the indications are that the duplicating of 

 the experiments gives much more satisfactory results than the single-plot system 

 previously followed.
