TEST OP VARIETIES ON ONE-ACRE, FIVE-ACRE AND TEN-ACRE FIELDS. 



In these tests the more promising varieties of wheat grown in previous years were 

 sown, not only to test the grain on larger areas but for the purpose of obtaining seed in 

 quantities for distribution or for sale for seed. The plots were exposed to winds and 

 sustained more or less injury therefrom. The soil chosen for these tests was a clay 

 loam. Most of the varieties were slightly rusted, but no smut was observed on any of 

 them.
