Report on the Field and Feeding Experiments at Woburn. 359 
Experiments on Peas in Lansome Field. 
These experiments were with soluble and finely-ground phos- 
phatic fertilisers, and were similar in character to those on the 
heavier land of Warren Field, They were commenced in 1881 
on the light land of Lansome Field. In that year swedes were- 
grown ; barley followed in 1882, and peas were grown in 1883^

On February 28th common maple peas were drilled in, at the rate
