STUBBLE TREATMENT. 



The plots on which this experiment was conducted, grew wheat in 1911. The treat- 

 ment of the stubble was performed, according to directions given below, in the fall of 

 1911 and spring of 1912. Wheat was sown on plots 1 to 10, on May 13; they all came 

 up on May 23; plots 3, 4 and 5 headed out on July 6; plots 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 headed 

 out on July 8. All ripened on August 28, were cut on August 31, and threshed on 

 September 25. Plots 11, 12 and 13 were sown to oats on May 16. All came up on 

 May 28, headed out on July 20, were ripe on September 11, were cut on September 

 11 and threshed October 3.
