EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



Flax. — Test of Varieties. 



4 GEORGE V., A. 1914 



The three numbered varieties were obtained from Professor Bolley, of the 

 North Dakota Agricultural College. This is the first year they have been tested 

 here, and they have made a good showing. If further tests confirm this one, these 

 varieties may prove of value. 



EIELD PEAS. 



Ten varieties of field peas were sown on May 8, at from two to three bushels per 

 acre, depending on the size of the pea. The land was sandy loam, summer-fallowed 

 the previous year.

The earlier varieties did the best this year on account of the cool wet summer. 

 Solo, a new variety from Sweden, seems to be very promising.
