6 PASTURE STUDIES: SOME RESULTS. 
AREA 1, 
Altitude : 650 feet. 
Soil: Type ii. (p. 3). 
History: In grass 1898-1910; oats 1910; bastard fallow ; 
dredge corn 1911 ; oats 1912; bastard fallow ; dredge corn 1913, 
and seeded down to permanent pasture with the seeds-mixture 
shown in Table IV. The area was well manured with farmyard 
manure and phosphates during this period of cultivation, but 
was only partly under a cleaning crop. 
Hay was taken in 1914, farmyard manure was applied winter 
1914-15, and hay again taken in 1915. It has been continuously 
grazed since, without further manuring. 
AREA 2. Adjoining Area 1. 
Altitude: 700 feet. 
Soil: Mostly Type ii. (p. 3), but partly of Type i. 
History: In grass 1895-1905 without manuring ; hay 1905 ; 
oats 1906; bastard fallow; dredge-corn 1907; bastard fallow ; 
partly dredge-corn and partly oats 1908, and then seeded down to 
grass ; well manured with farmyard manure and phosphates while 
under cultivation, but no part of it under a cleaning crop ; mown 
for hay in 1909 and 1910; subsequently grazed; 5 cwt. Basic 
Slag per acre applied in winter 1913-14. Cynosurus cristatus was 
very prominent in the hay crop of 1905. 
The area is bounded to the north by uncultivable land in 
which Ulex europaeus (used for horse fodder) is dominant in most 
places. In other places, Rubus spp., and Preris aguilina are 
prominent and Agrostis tenuis, Anthoxanthum odoratum, Dactylis 
glomerata, Festuca rubra, Holcus lanatus, and Cynosurus cristatus 
are more or less abundant. 
AREA 3. Part of the same field as Area 2. 
Altitude: 650 feet. 
Soil; Type ii. (p. 3). 
History: As for Area 2 up till 1905 ; oats 1905, and under 
cultivation for five successive seasons, during which time the
