EXPERIMENTS WITH PEAS. 



Thirteen varieties of field peas were sown in the regular test plots of one-fortieth 

 acre each. They were all sown April 21, on a clover sod which had been ploughed the 

 previous fall and was well prepared by repeated harrowings. 



The larp varieties were sown at the rate of three bushels per acre and the small 

 at the rate oi : two and one-half bushels per acre. The stand was uniform and the 

 growth, vigorous and promising, but the dry summer, and a few very hot days when 

 they wore in bloom, brought on a quite severe attack of mildew, which reduced the 

 yield.
