in the meanwhile, from introducing them on other land 

 in my occupation, I had formed a most favourable 

 opinion. The Inner Kaimrig field was accordingly 

 ploughed up at the end of 1893, when it was found, 

 mainly, I believe, from the quantity of cocksfoot and 

 yarrow used, that quite a thick sod had been formed. 

 In 1894 the, land was cropped with turnips, which was 

 a fair crop, considering the poorness of the land. In 

 1895 the land was again laid down with a thin seeding 

 of oats (which turned out a very fair crop), and the 

 following seeds *:- 



Total, 47i lbs. per acre. 

 As the field was to be cut for hay, Italian ryegrass 

 was added to the mixture. The land was so poor that 



* If I now (1907) had to lay down this field, I would use the following 

 improved mixture, as the experience of the last twelve years has shown 

 me that a better mixture can be made without increasing the cost of the 

 seeds used ; indeed, the cost of this improved mixture will in most years 

 be rather less than that of the original mixture.
