Though, as before stated, the seasons 

 and other circumstances have prevented 

 any real definite results being obtained 

 with this system, this has not prevented 

 a comparison being obtained with other 

 portions worked under methods looked 

 upon as being suitable for the district. 

 So far, the results do not point in favour 

 of the adoption of Campbell's system as 

 advocated, as the annual yields have 

 been equal to and in some instances 

 better than the biennial yields off the 

 Campbell block for half the labour 

 expended in preparation. 



Though such is the case, the soil mois- 

 ture analyses for the twelve months 

 ending Nouember, 1911, of four classes 

 of land, made by the Agricultural 

 Chemist (Mr. J. C. Brunnieh), demon- 

 strate the efficacy of Campbell's system 

 as a moisture conserver, as a perusal of 

 the following tabulated list will show ; —
