EXPERIMENTAL FARM3 



1-2 EDWARD VII., A. 1902 



Chancellor, Kent, Agnes and Mackay, were all more or less injured by cutworms, 

 From the accompanying table it will be seen that pease are quite productive here. 



There is an absence of pea-weevil, and were it not for the labour of harvesting, thi3 



crop would prove very remunerative. 



Tiie land was summer-fallowed the previous year. The plots were one-twentieth 



of an acre, and the soil a rich clay loam. All the varieties, fifty-seven in number, 



were sown from May 4 to May 8.
