Overview

Excerpt from Experimental Farms: Reports Ninety-seven varieties of oats have been under trial at the Central Experimental Farm during 1902, for the purpose of ascertaining which are the most productive, and which are the earliest in ripening. The soil on which these oats were sown was very uniform in character, a clay loam of good quality more or less mixed with sandy loam. The previous crop was field roots. The land received a dressing during the winter of 1900 - 1901 of about twelve tons of fresh barn-yard manure per acre, which was placed on the frozen ground in small heaps of about one - third of a cart load each, and spread and ploughed under in the spring. No manure has been applied since. In the autumn of 1901 after the roots were gathered, the land was ploughed about seven inches deep and left in that condition until the following spring, when it was cultivated twice with a two-horse cultivator and harrowed twice with the smoothing harrow before the oats were sown.
