Commenting on the results at Carwarp, the experimenter (Mr. P. G. 

 Stewart, M.L.A.) said that while the manurial plots did not show the 

 same striking differences as last year, they still showed in favour of 

 heavier dressings than were used in the district. 



The time of sowing tests showed markedly in favour of the early sown 

 plots, in spite of the late season.
