EARLY MEDIUM AND LATE SOWN WHEAT. 



These experiments which proved so interesting in 1892 have been repeated this 

 year, and the season being different, the results are not quite the same. With one 

 exception the wheat plots yielded in the order they were sown, the first sown giving 

 the best return and decreasing each week after. They also ripened in the exact order 

 of sowing, again emphasizing the fact that to escape fall frosts, wheat should be sown 

 as early as possible. Eod Fife again gave the largest yield, and ripened as early as 

 the Campbell's "While Chaff, the rust on the latter variety appearing to delay its 

 ripening, soil, black loam ^ acre, sown with common drill, 1^ bushels per acre, 

 summer fallow.
