A SEVEN YEARS. TEST.
A Comparison of sixty Different Va
rieties of Wheat.

A Comparison of sixty Different Va
rieties of Wheat.
About 60 different named sorts of
wheat are annually grown in compare
tive test at the Ohio experiment sta
ton. In this test the different varie-
ties are grown on plots of one-tenth
acre, the plots being arranged so that
a standard variety, Penquite's Velvet
Chaff, appears on every third plot in
the series, and In computing the re-
suits the yield of given variety is
compared with that Of the two plots of
Velvet Chaff between which 1t grew.
The treatment of the crop Is as near
ly uniform for all the varieties as pos
sible. The land was selected in the
first place for its apparent uniformity;
a tile drain Is laid at one side Of every
plot; the blowing Is done across the
plots; all are MANFRED alike with barn
yard manure, distributed by manure
spreader, which also Is driven across
the plots, thus giving no opportunity
for differences In time of blowing or
manner of manuring to effect the yield,
and the greatest possible care is taken
In seeding harvesting and thrashing.
Below are the general results of this
test for the seven years 1893 to 1899 in
elusive.
The following sorts have exceeded
Mealy by an average of more than four
bushels per acre each, Red Russian by
nearly four bushels, Niger, Early
Ripe, Currelps Prolific and Egyptian
by two or three bushels, Mediterra-
mean, New Monarch and Democrat by
one or two bushels and Bearded Mon
arch, Valley, Deitz, Lebanon and Hick-
man by less than one bushel each.
OF the sorts which have fallen below
Velvet Chaff in average yield are
Jones Winter Fife, which has aver
aged more than three bushels less;
Thesis and Silver Chaff, between two
and three bushels less; Royal Austria
liam Tor Clawson). Early Red Clawson,
Yellow Gypsy. Missouri Blue Stem,
New Longberry. Lehigh and Martins
Amber, between one and two bushels
less, and Fulcaster. Hindostan and
Early White Leader, whose average
yield has been less than a bushel below
that of Velvet Chaff.
These tests have been made ON a
rather thin, somewhat sandy clay. On
gravelly loans the Valley bias made a
relatively larger yield than that quoted
above.
No variety has proved exempt from
attack by Hessian fly. but Mealy, Med.
iterranean, Fulcaster and Clawson
seem TO suffer less from the fall attack
of this insect than most other sorts.

About Flowing In.

The following appears In recent
bulletin Issued by the secretary of the
board of agriculture, in which the blowing
In of clover Is discussed:
CoRNvILLE-I set so apple trees three
years ago on dry. gravelly ridge which
was formerly pasture, and has been dress
ed with manure three years and planted
each year to beans, sweet corn and early
potatoes. The trees are growing finely.
Is it best to continue TO plant and apply
manure each year for four or FIVE years
longer. or is it best to rotate with grain
and clover. sowing to grain and clover
next year. moving clover one year and
then blowing in second crop and follow
ing With corn or early potatoes1 Which
is the best course to pursue? 1t seems to
me that the proper time to pillow in clover
is when it is in full bloom. or when 1t has
attained its full growth. ! notice from
former bulletins that you do not advise
blowing in clover at this stage. Will you
please give your reasons? A. SMITH
Mote We would advise the rotation Of crops
as YOU suggest You will find that the blowing
In OF Clover Will InhttIldliT oiN JoN ~
ing the producing capacity of the orchard The
land will be benefited by the change of crops
and the labor nj handling the manure each year
will be saved. Nature fertilizes by green
manuring but she never turns downs green
crop. 1t always stands till fully matured and
dried out. This would tend TO warrant the
practise Of allowing all crops to become fully
ripe before blowing in. This practice also fully
comedies with the experience OF those who have
p-acticed the turning down Of crops 70. many
years. Mr.. T. B. Terry is particularly EN-
phatic In his recommendations to allow Of the
full ripenipg OF clover before the blowing. Mr..
Geo. 7. Powell even goes so far as to delay
blowing till spring thereby securing the COM
plete driving out OF the clover. 1t is said that
certain acid conditions of the soil are created by
the turning under of crops while they are green.
