EXPERIMENTS WITH PEAS. 



Seven varieties of Canadian field peas were tested in 1912. The seed was sown 

 on April 25, at the rate of two and one-half to three bushels per acre, on one-fortieth 

 acre plots. The soil had been summer-fallowed in 1911, and was a black clay loam on 

 clay sub-soil.
