TEST OF SOWING WHEAT AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. 



Eed Fife was used for this test and two inches proved to be the right depth for 

 last season, as well as for 1892. 



TEST OF SOWING PLOTS A WEEK APART. 



Two varieties, Eed Fife and Campbell's White Chaff were sown at the earliest 

 possible date, 19th April, and seedings continued one week apart for 6 weeks, until 

 22nd May. The plots were one-tenth of an acre each. 



In this test Campbell's White Chaff, which is a soft wheat, matured from one to 

 two days ahead of Eed Fife and all the plots came in in the order sown with seven 

 days' difference in time of ripening between the first seeding of Eed Fife and the 

 last. The best yields were from second and third weeks' sowing. Following are 

 dates of seeding, yield, &c.
