SESSIONAL PAPER No. 15 



EXPERIMENTAL STATION, LENNOXVILLE, QUE. 



J. A. McCLARY. SUPERINTENDENT. 



Regular experimental work in the testing of different kinds of grain has not beea 

 started at this Station, but approximately 15 acres have been set apart for cereal work. 

 This land was broken up in the fall of 1915, so as to be able to start a three year 

 rotation which will be followed for cereal work. For the first year, one-third will be 

 plotted off into one-sixtieth acre plots and all sown to one variety. One-third will be 

 in hoed crop this year; the remainder will be sown to clover and ploughed down. Dur- 

 ing the past year the main crop consisted of 48 acres of Banner oats, which yielded 

 26 bushels per acre. Eight acres of Marquis wheat were sown in the cultural orchard.
