Table III. 

 Yields of Hay for 1916. 



Yields marked thus * are averages of two plots. 



In the year succeeding this trial, rye and Cape barley were not 

 sown in the same fodder mixture, as together they yielded too coarse 

 a hay ; neither was Cape barley sown in the same mixture with oats, 

 as it proved too early maturing for any of the varieties of oats. 



The varieties of wheat tried proved unsuitable for hay mixtures, 

 the cured fodder being unpalatable and too coarse. These wheats 

 were in consequence not tried again. 



Both Cape barley and rye were found too early to be sown with 

 hairy vetch, and were subsequent to this season confined to mixtures 

 with spring or French winter vetch.
