 1084 EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 



EXPERIMENTS AT FORT SMITH. 



The season of 1915 was very unfavourable, owing to tlie severe drought which 

 prevailed during the spring and the early part of the summer. Heavy frost occurred 

 in May and June, and even July was not free from it. 



Seeding was begun early in May and was completed by the 20th of the month. 



Tests were made of wheat, oats, and barley. These plots received a severe set-back 

 from file heavy frosts in June. 



On the whole very satisfactory results were obtained, considering the nature of the 

 season. The experiments will be repeated next yeai.
