Sugar Beets. — Test of Varieties. 



RED CLOVER. 



Clover is certainly one of the most important crops, for forage, and also as a soil 

 improver. It seems that everything possible should be done to find out with what kind 

 of cereal, and probably with what variety of the same cereal, and with what quantity 

 of grain per acre, it will ' catch best.' 



GRASSES. 



A small quantity of seed of Rhodes grass, and of Sweet grass, received from the 

 Dominion Botanist on March 27, 1912, was sown on a piece of light sandy loam.
