Taylor had the largest seed, of which only 94,634 were 

 required to make a bushel. New Era has the smallest 

 seed of any kind in the variet}^ test, having 236,545 seed 

 in a bushel. In rows three feet apart, and three seed per 

 foot of drill, an acre would require about 11 pounds of 

 Xew Era or about 28 pounds of Taylor seed. 



Small Black, grown in another field, had seed slightly 

 smaller than those of New Era. 



Where to Get Seed. 



The Station cannot undertake to supply seed. The ad- 

 dresses of the parties from whom ithis Station has ob- 

 tained seed, as given below, will enable intending buy- 

 ers, who cannot get seed nearer home, to correspond with 

 seedsmen or growlers.

The hay yield of varieties of cotopeas. — These tests 

 were all made on poor sandy upland, though the land 

 used for this experiment in 1897 was richer than that 

 occupied by this test in the other years. In 1897 the 

 seed was sown broadcast; in 1898 and 1899 the seed 

 was planted in drills about 2^/2 feet apart. The yields 

 are lower than we usually obtain in our fields sown for 

 hay, which may be partly due to the fact that the peas 

 in the experiments were sown late, — the last w^eek in 

 June, — and that the product w^as weighed only after 

 the hay had become extremely dry.
