CEREAL EXPERIMENTS ON THE CHEYENNE EXPERIMENT FARM. lI] 
were grown in triplicate tenth-acre plats. In 1915 the winter-wheat 
varieties were grown in triplicate thirtieth-acre plats and most of 
the spring cereals in duplicate twentieth-acre plats. 
PREPARATION OF THE LAND. 
In the preparation of the seed bed the aim at Archer has been 
to do the work im as practical a manner as possible. However, at 
times the land has probably been given better preparation than 
would be profitable on the average farm. 
All crops were grown on breaking in 1913 and on fallow land in 
1914. In 1915 the winter wheats were grown on fallow and all 
spring crops on land which had produced corn the previous year.

RATES AND DATES OF SEEDING. 
In the varietal experiments at Archer, winter and spring wheats 
have been seeded at the rate of 3 pecks per acre. The small-kerneled 
early oats have been sown at the rate of 4 pecks, and the larger 
kerneled midseason varieties at the rate of 5 pecks per acre. Barley 
has been sown at the rate of 4 pecks and flax at 15 pounds per acre. 
Winter wheat, except in the fall of 1912, has been seeded between 
September 1 and 15. Spring wheat, oats, and barley have been 
sown between April 15 and May 1. Flax and proso have been seeded 
between May 15 and 25.
