Trials with varieties of wheat have now been carried out for 

 eight years at the Garforth Experimental Farm under the 

 supervision of the Agricultural Department 

 Varieties of Qf University of Leeds. There are five 

 varieties which have been grown during the 

 whole period, and the average results may probably be regarded 

 as affording an indication of their relative cropping powers.

The experiment in 1906 was conducted in a field having two 

 classes of soil, viz., medium loam and clay loam, but the plots 

 were so arranged as to participate equally in both kinds of soil. 

 The previous crop was " seeds," which followed a good crop of 

 Storm King " oats. The " seeds " mixture consisted entirely 

 of clovers, and furnished such excellent grazing for sheep dur- 

 ing the summer of 1905 that it was considered inadvisable to 

 give an application of dung for the wheat crop, and the forward 

 growth of the varieties in spring rendered it unnecessary to 

 apply any artificial manures.
