RESULTS OF EARLY, MEDIUM AND LATE SOWINGS. 



These plots were sown on loamy soil that had been under grain the previous year, 

 part of it in oats and the remainder wheat. It was all ploughed early in spring and 

 thoroughly harrowed when the first plots of the series were sown, and the unsown 

 portion harrowed when each subsequent sowing was made. There was no smut, but 

 rust on the oats and mildew on the pea vines lessened the yield of those grains. There 

 was no rust on the wheat or barley plots. The size of the plots was one-twentieth acre 

 each. 



Oats — Early, Medium and Late Sowings. 



Spring Wheat — Early, Medium and Late Sowings.
