EXPERIMENTS WITH FLAX. 



Sowing different quantities of seed per acre and at different dates. Soil, Clay Loam, 



summer-fallowed. Sown by hoe-drill. 



On account of the lateness of the season only three seedings were practicable. 



Experiments with white flax-. 



The experiment with White Flax, kindly sent for trial by Mr. Alfred Boyd, 

 Toronto, Ontario, was continued this year, and although the season was very favour- 

 able for ordinary flax, the white variety was a complete failure. The straw did not 

 grow over G inches high,- and very little seed formed. 



EXPERIMENTS WITH MILLETS. 



Seven varieties were sown on May 23, on l-20th acre plots of land fall-ploughed 

 and manured. 



Cut for feed on September 5.
