REPORT OF MR. A. MAG KAY. 



2»7 



The plot -with super-phosphate of lime gave 20 bushels per acre more than 

 either of the other two, and ripened one day earlier. In this test in 1892, the super- 

 phosphate of lime gave much the better result, but the untreated plot that season 

 was badly injured by winds. 



PEASE. 



Twelve varieties were sown in ^ acre plots and 7 of these in acre plots. 



The crop of straw from all the sorts was heavy but the hot winds injured them 

 so much that the yield was very small. Unfortunately a heavy wind storm took 

 place immediately after the pease were pulled, which mixed the varieties so much 

 that out of 19 plots, returns for only 6 kinds can be given, and they are not accurate 

 for the reason that all the plots were badly threshed out by winds. 



Two of the sorts that were badly mixed, Centennial and Potter, were the best of 

 all varieties sown. The Pride also was of good quality.
