7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 



EXPEKIMENTS WITH BARLEY. 



The barley plots were uniform and made strong vigorous growth. Charlottetown 

 No. 80, a selection from Old Island Two-row, headed the list. The character of drop- 

 ping its awns in the field, together with its tendency to heavy production, make this 

 a very desirable strain for -the province. 



Barley. — Test of Varieties. 



EXPERIMENTS WIT^I PEAS. 



The backward season was unfavourable for peas. We sowed them, however, earlier 

 than in former years and had much larger yields than formerly. The pea weevil again 

 did much damage to the peas while growing.
