Oats — Test of Varieties. 



AVERAGE YIF.I.D FOR FIVE YEARS. 



The following table gives the average yield of a number of the leading varieties 

 of oats for the past five years. 



FIELD CROPS OF OATS. 



The yield of oats varied greatly on different fields according to the moisture that 

 was available for the crop. Summer-fallowed land gave the best returns, but this 

 was much below a normal yield on such land.
