Produce of Hay per acre, 1912, 1913, 1914. 



It will be seen that the Italian rye-grass gave, in two years 

 out of the three, considerably the highest produce, as also over 

 the whole series, while the Dutch variety, which was one of 

 rather earlier nature, was only slightly superior to the Pacey 

 rye-grass. 



Varieties of Lucerne. 

 Series B. Stackyard Field. 



Though the " plant " of Lucerne left on the different plots 

 was not very promising after the three crops of 1913 (the third 

 year in succession) had been taken, it was decided to continue 

 these for another year. The plots were harrowed and horse- 

 hoed in the winter, and rolled in February, 1911. They then 

 showed much improvement, and, in spite of the prolonged 

 drought of 1911, two cuttings were obtained, namely, on 

 July 15 and September 1. Both these were made into hay, and 

 the results are given in Table X.
