agricultural teachey, Mr. W. H.
Wodten.
It was interesting to note that
some varieties of oats which have
generally been considered as our best
yielders showed in the tests, although
the Appier strains, a variety that has
been'popular in this section, gave the
h'ghest yields. All fanners present
agreed after studying the tests that
the Appier or some strain of the Ap
pier variety was the best to sow here.
It was also agreed that dats should
be sown during October and that
from one and a half to three bushels
of seed should be sown to the acre,
depending upon the fertility of the
soil.
