EXPERIMENTS WITH GRASSES. 



Timothy, sown 1910, was very short, and yielded 1£ tons to the acre. 



Brorne grass, plots sown 1910 and 1911, respectively, were very good. The yield 

 was 2£ tons to the acre. 



On May 4, 1912, small plots of the following grasses were sown, viz., Timothy, 

 Tall Eescue, Western Rye grass, and Awnless Brome grass. At the close of the 

 season they were all very poor, on account of the drought in the early spring. 



On May 10, 1912, one-thirtfefh of an acre was seeded to Canary grass. This was 

 cut on September 6, and yielded four tons to the acre. 



On June 6 a small plot was sown with Sainfoin. It produced a strong growth, 

 standing about two feet high wben cut on September 6.
