EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



2 GEORGE V., A. 1912 

 SPRING WHEAT — TEST OF VARIETIES. 



Thirteen varieties were sown on the 8th of April, in plots of one-twentieth acre 

 each, at the rate of one and one-half bushels of seed per acre. Repeated frosts put 

 the grain back, and the winds bared many of the roots. The yields and quality were 

 satisfactory. 



Marquis and Red Fife were the worst injured by the winds. Kubanka, in the list, 

 is a Durum Wheat.
