There was aJbsence of disease, but wild oats was prevalent; the previous 

 crop was oats. The fallow was scarified in October, which is later than 

 usual, owing to the wet. Subsequently it was scarified at the end of 

 March, and again before seeding; the sowing was made during the last 

 week in May, at the rate of a bushel to the acre, with 70 lbs. of super- 

 jyhosphate. 



None of the remaining crops was so heavy, owing to a variety of 

 causes. In one case it was due to a late sowing, in another to the com- 

 bined effects of a deficiency of labour and an attempt to sow a large 

 area.

Comments. 



In this section the crops of the first two competitors were the same 

 as in section one. Their methods have already been discussed. Mr. 

 Collins showed a very creditable crop of Federation, which had been 

 grown partly on summer fallow and partly ou winter fallow, and had 

 been freely worked as previously mentioned.
