significance when the matter has been further pursued. The 
results are given in Table X.

Green-Manuring Experiment ( Lansome Field), 1908. 
The green crops having been grown in 1907, wheat 
followed as usual. “ Square Head’s Master ” wheat, at the rate 
of 9 pecks per acre, was drilled on November 7, 1907, and 
came up satisfactorily. By April, 1908, the wheat after 
mustard looked, as in previous years, decidedly the best, that 
after rape next best, while the wheat following tares was 
clearly the poorest. These appearances were borne out by the 
crop results given in Table XI. The wheat was cut on 
August 10 and carted on August 20. It is noticeable that the 
plots to which lime had been given (last in 1904) were, 
generally, superior to the corresponding ones to which mineral 
manures had been applied. In one case (plot 4) the wheat 
following rape was as good as that after mustard, but in all cases 
the smallest crops were those of wheat following tares. These 
results go to confirm fully the observations of previous years.
