SESSIONAL PAPER No. 16 



PEAS. 



One variety of peas was grown in the field. The growth throughout the season 

 was good, and the threshed result of fully matured grain is of particular importance 

 to this portion of the province. The Arthur variety, used on this field area, seems 

 best adapted to our need in a field pea. It was sown on May 3, on summer-fallowed 

 ground, ripened on September 10 and yielded at the rate of 35 bushels 1 pound per 

 acre.
