Field Lots of Barley (irrigated) 



2 GEORGE V., A. 1912 



The Standwell barley was irrigated June 15 and July 14. The Mensury was irri- 

 gated June 22 and July 13. 



BARLEY — T.ATES OF SEED PER ACRE. 



In the following experiments, the size of the plots used was one-twentieth acre; 

 they were sown May 2 on land on which hoed crops had been grown the previous 

 season. The land was not spring-ploughed, but was double-disced and levelled before 

 the barley was sown. The variety used was Mensury. Two irrigations were given, 

 one on June 15 and the other on July 1 4. 



Barley — Rates of Seed per Acre (irrigated). 



The irregularities that are shown this year, both in regard to the date of ripen- 

 ing and the yields, are rather confusing, but may in part be due to the fact that the 

 plots germinated somewhat unevenly on account of the drought. A good stand was 

 obtained in each case, but the grain did not all come up at the same time. 



EXPERIMENTS WITH PEAS. 



Thirteen varieties of peas were grown on summer-fallowed land in plots of one- 

 sixtieth of an acre each. They wore sown April 2, at the rate of about two and one- 

 half bushels per acre, depending on the size of the pea. The crop received two irriga- 

 tions, one on June 2 and one on July 13.
