EXPEKIMENTS WITH FALL WHEAT. 



Twenty varieties of fall wheat were under test during the past season. All but 

 two were sown on September 7 on a piece of light, sandy loam, of good quality, on plots 

 of one-fortieth of an acre each. The previous crop was rape, which was fed off early 

 so as to permit of the land being worked well before sowing. It was ploughed from 

 6 to 7 inches deep, and well harrowed to bring it into a good condition of tilth. It 

 was manured in the spring of 1900, before sowing the rape with about 20 tons of barn- 

 yard manure per acre. The sowing of two of the varieties, Dawson's Golden Chaff and 

 Surprise, was repeated on October 1, but it will be seen that the earlier sowings have 

 produced the largest crops. All the varieties came through the winter well, and made 

 a very strong and even growth and gave good returns. This grain was sown at the 

 rate of If bushels of seed per acre.
