234  Report  on  the  Field  and  Feeding  Experiments  at  Woburn. 
Lansome-field.  Towards  the  end  of  July  the  barley  looked 
remarkably  healthy  and  strong,  and  no  appreciable  difference 
could  be  detected  by  inspection  of  the  several  experimental 
plots. 
The  barley  was  cut  on  the  5th  and  6th  of  September,  and 
carted  and  stacked  in  good  condition  on  the  12th  and  13th  of 
September,  1882.  It  was  threshed  out  on  the  14th  of  November  ; 
the  straw  and  chaff  were  weighed  at  the  time  of  threshing  on  the 
field,  and  the  corn  was  placed  in  properly  labelled  bags  in  the 
granary  until  the  24th  of  November,  when  it  was  winnowed, 
weighed,  and  measured,  and  the  following  results  were  ob- 
tained : — 
Produce  of  Barley  in  Lansome  Field  in  1882,  after  Swedes  fed-off 
with  Cake  and  Corn  in  1881.

Unfortunately  the  soil  in  this  field  differs  somewhat  in 
character  and  productive  powers.  With  the  exception  of  two 
plots,  those  in  section  B gave  a larger  crop  than  the  A plots,
