The results of twelve separate tests made at the College show an average increase in yield of grain per acre of 6.8 bushels from large as compared with small seed, of 7.8 bushels from plump as compared with shrunken seed, and 35.6 bushels from sound as compared with broken seed. Seed which was allowed to become very ripe before it was cut produced a greater yield of both grain and straw and a heavier weight of grain per measured bushel than that produced from wheat which was cut at any one of four earlier stages of maturity. In 1H9? and again in 1902, alarge amount of the winter wheat in On tario became Sprouted before it was harvested owing to the wet weather. Carefully conducted tests showed that an average of only 76 per cent. of the slightly sprouted and 18 per cent. of the badly sprouted seed would grow and produce plants. Surely he is the wise farmer “'00 will sow none. but large. plump. sound. ripe seed of good vitality. In each of six years. experiments have been conducted in treating Win ter “heat in difl'erent ways to kill the stinking smut and the results have been sttisfactory. Untreated aged produce an average of 3.6 per cent. of smut iv the nor» of but year and 9.3 per cent. of smut in the crop of this season. Seed wheat which was immersed for twenty minutes in a solution made by adding one pint of formaldehyde (formalin) to forty.;_wo gallons of water produced an average yield of grain per acre of 50.4 bushels in 1904 and 50.8 bushels in 1905.,and that which was untreated produced uly 46.6 bushels and 43 bushels per acre for the corresponding tWo years. ahus making an average saving of naarly 6 bushels per acre. The treatâ€" .ant here mentioned was easily per formed, comparatively cheap. eflect “l in killing the smut spores. and hatrumental in furnishing the lar goat aterage yield of wheat per acre d all the treatments used. Some of the most interesting crops of Winter Wheat grown at the Col- lege in 1905 were those obtained from crosses made between different vari- eties in previous years. Several thoushnd hybrid plants were grown leparately and are now being care- fully examined. and classified and the seeds selected for Autumn sow ing. These hybrids were secured by crossing such varieties as Dawson’s Golden Chafl’, Bulgarian, Turkey Red, etc. The object in this work is to secure new varieties which possess the good qualities and eliminate the poor qualities of the present varieties. The results so far are very encourag. ing. In an experiment conducted at the College on {our diflerent occasions. winter wheat grown on land on which g crop of green Pease was plowed un- der produced an average yield of '13.“ per acre which was 2:2 1 ppr com.

There were forty-one new strains of Winter 'Wheat grown at the College this year as a direct result of the work done in plant selection. Some of these are very promising. Of twelve new strains of Dawson’s Golden Chafi. eleven yielded better than the ordin- ary variety reported in the previous paragraph. and two yielded at the rate of fully 68 bushels of grain perl acre. year The five highest leading kinds were of the Dawson’s Golden Chafi class. having beardless heads. red chafl at.» white grain.

The average yield of grain per acre in 1905 was 56.7 bushels lor the eigh- teen varieties of White Wheat and 51.7 bushels for the forty-three vari- eties of Red Wheat. Generally speak- ing. the White Wheats yield more grain per acre. possesses Stronger straw. weigh a little less per meas- ured bushel and are slightly softer in the grain than the red varieties. Sixty-one varieties of Winter Wheat were grown in the Experi- mental Department during the past The Wheat harvest has been com- pleted at the Ontario Agricultural College. The weather conditions of the past year have been Iavorable throughout Ontario for the success- ful grOWth of most of the Autumn sown crops. The brief report here presented gives some of the principal results oi the. experiments conducted at the Agricultural College and throughout the Province of Ontario. RESULTS OI" EXPEBIIENTS With Autumn Son Crops. The average results for six years show a yield of grain per acre of 60.4 bushels for the Mammoth variety and 57.5» bushels for the common var- iety of Winter Rye. The returns from \Vinter Barley in Ontario are uncertain as sometimes the yields are very high and sometimes they are very low. The two varieties grown in 1905 gave only 7.2 and 8.7 bushels per acre. \Vinter oats are a repeated failure at the College The Hairy or Winter Vetches produce an average vield of 10.9 tons of green crop per acre in the experiments for four years and of 7 t3 bushels of seed per acre in the test of five years. RESULTS 01’ C0 OPERATIVE EXPERIMENTS Many tests conducted at Guelph indicate the importance of sowing about ninety pounds of winter wheat per acre on an average soil. This amount might be increased for poor land and decreased for rich soil. If the land is in a good state of cultiva- tion it matters but little whether the seed is sown broadcast or with a tube drill, but if the land is dry or lumpy that which is sown with the drill is likely to give the hem results. The highest yield per acre have been ob- tained from sowing between the 26th of August and the 9th of September, yielded 20.7 per cent. greater than that which was sown on timothy sod Two years’ results with commercial fertilizers show that 160 lbs. per acre of nitrate of soda increased the yield of winter wheat 7.2 bushels at a cosc of about eighty cents per bushel. As a result of hundreds of inquiries we learn that in Ontario, about 33 per cent of the Winter \Vheat is sown on pea ground, 25 on clover sod, 11 on barley ground, 10 on timothy sod, 9 on summer fallow and 12 on land following potatoes, beans, oats. corn and roots. In the co-Operative experiments conducted throughout Ontnrio in 1905 under the direcnion'of the Experi- mental Union. the varieties of “fin- ter \Vheat gave the following avenge yields in bushels of grain per acre: Dawson’s Golden Cbafl. 93.22 Impori. al Amber. 92.53.

Mack, at the Department of Agriculture. Lady Macdonald accompanied her husband to Washington. and was with him during the long deliberations of the Joint High Commission which resulted in the Treaty of Washington in 1871. She was with him, too, on that great trip over the new Canadian Pacific Railway, whose very exist- ence was so largely due to him, and the steel rails of which bound and unified Canada into one great dominion as no bonds of law could ever do. 0n the island of Jamaica. the birthplace of two other brilliant women â€"â€"the Empress Josephine and the third Lady Hollandâ€"Lady Macdonald, daughter of Hon. T. J. Bernard, a member of the Privy Council, was born in 1836. The death of her father, while she was still a child, made it neces- sary to take her to England for her education. When she was eighteen, she came to Canada with her mother for a visit, her two brothers, Richard and Hewitt Bernard, having entered the legal profession at Ottawa, and there she met Sir John Macdonald. Thirteen years later. in 1867, they were married in London. It was a red-letter year in the calendar of their lives and the history of Canada, for it was the year in which the British North American Provinces were united into a federation.
