Much credit is duo to the care- ful experimenters who sent us the re- perts of the tests made on their own farms. CONCLUSIONS. 1 In the average yield of winter wheat per acre, the Dawson's Golden Chaff stood highest among 11 varieties tested over Ontario in 1393, 9 varieties in 1894, 9 varieties in 1895, 9 varieties in 1896, and 7 varieties in 1897, also among 53 yarieties grown at the Agri- cultural College for six years in sue. cession. 2 Three varieties of winter wheat have been tested over Ontario for four years in succession, with the following average e yields of grain per acre Dawson's Golden Chaff, 82e, bushels; Early Red Clawson, 29e bushels; and Early Genesee Giant, 29 1-20 bushels. 8 Dawson's Golden Chaff was the most popular variety with the esper- reenters in each of the past four years. 4 In co-operative experiments for 1897, Stewarts Champion, Pride of Genesee, Dawson's Golden Chaff, and Siberian, made the best appearance in the spring. 5 Dawson's. Golden Chaff and Early Genesee Giant possessed, the strongest, and the Pride of Genesse and Siberian the ct eak. eat straw in 1897. 6 The Dawson's Golden Chaff and the Stewart's Champion were the least, and the Pride of Genesee and the Early Genesee Giant were the moss affected by rust. 7 The Stewart's Champion and the Pride of Genesse produced the greatest length of straw, 8 The Early Red Clawson and the !Dawson's Golden Chaff were the first to mature, and the Early Genesee Giant and the Stewart's Champion were the last to mature' ' 9 The Dawson's Golden Chaff and the Stewart's Champion produced the plumpest grain, and the Siberian and Poole the most shrunken grain. 10 The counties of Grey, Middlesex, and Huron furnished the largest num- berr of successful winter wheat reports in 1897. 11. Tho experimenters have taken much interest in the work as shown by the many favorable comments given in the reports, the following being an example: "Co-operative experi- ments should be located in conspicuous places as object lessons;'' My experi- ment with Winter wheat was near the road where 200 to 300 rigs passed daily. The visitations to the plots were very numerous. The remarks by passers. by and the comparisons made would Elle, volume. The experiment actual- ly became the leading topes of the yin. age talk for some time previous eto harvesting.' Thus many object lessons were learned by every day observers, I have taken a good deal of pains with the experiment hilt feel well repaid.''
