SPRING WHEAT. 



The following are the results of the yields of spring wheat in 1912, together 

 with the number of days maturing. All these plots were sown on April 17. There 

 will also be seen the yields of this grain for 1911. 



In addition to the named varieties, seven new cross-bred sorts, under numbers, 

 were tested.

OATS. 



Sixteen varieties of oats were under test in 1912. These were seeded on April 

 22. The Eighty Day is a selection by Dr. Chas. Saunders made from the 

 Sixty-day White, and proved the most satisfactory of all early oats. The yield of 63 

 bushels per acre does not represent the total yield, because this plot was considerably 

 injured by the crows.
