EMMER. 



One plot of emnier was tried in 1915 for the first time and yielded at the rate of 

 2,680 pounds per acre, which at sixty pounds per bushel is 44 bushels and 40 pounds. 

 But it must be remembered that a considerable percentage of this weight is made up 

 of chaff, and that therefore the yield is below that of a standard variety of wheat. 



OATS. 



Following are the yields of the leading varieties of oats for the past five years. 

 O.A.C. 72 is a variety recently brought out by Professor Zavitz of the Ontario Agri- 

 cultural College and, during the past two years, has proved a high yielder at this 

 Station. It is late in maturing.
