In the spring of 1901, twelve plots were sown on a field 
that had been broken in ’97 and cropped for three years in 
potatoes and other annual crops. The soil was silty loam, 
well mixed with humus and underlaid with clay at 12 to 18 
inches. The yields of the varieties, and mixtures sown, for 
1902, are given in Table CIII.
