338 EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



1-2 EDWARD VII., A. 1902 

 Average Results of a Five Years' Test of Twelve Varieties of Wheat. 



Field Plots of Spring Wheat. 



All were sown on summer-fallow in the proportion of one and a half bushels of 

 seed per acre. 



Thick and Thin Sowing of Wheat. 



As many requests for information on this point reach the Experimental Farm, 

 it was thought advisable to repeat the experiment. Evidently, fairly thick seeding, 

 such as the usual 1J bushels per acre, gives the largest return on such soil as that 

 on the Experimental Farm. 



The size of the plots for this test was 1-20 acre, and the soil was a rich sandy 

 loam, which had been summer-fallowed, and they were all sown on May 2.
