Reports of successfully conducted co-operative experi- ments with winter wheat were received from seventy-two experimenters before the 12th inst. at which time we started to work up the summary results in order to place the i.ltu.:;rmation before the wheat growers at. as early a date as possible. It is interesting is) know that these seventy-two good reports came from. no less than twenty-seven coun- ties and districts in Ontario, including Essex in the West, Carleton in the East, and the District of Algoma in the North.

The co-operative experiments of the past few years show that those varieties which have given the best average results in the experiments conducted at the College for five years in succession have nearly al- ways given good satisfaction on the farms of the Province. In the autumn of 1898. seven varieties of winter wheat were used for the cooperative tests. These were divided into three sets with three varieties in each set; the Daw- son’s Golden Chafi being used in all the sets as a basis by which the results of all the varieties should be compared with one an- other.

During the st seven years, the Dawson’s Golden C if has been an exceed- ingly popular variety with the farmers who have been conducting cwperative experi- ments throughout Ontario. DISTRIBUTION OF SEED FOR TESTING PURPOSES. The following two sets of winter wheat varieties will be sent free, by mail in one- half pound lots of each variety. to farmers appl ing for them, who will carefully test the t nee kinds in the set which they choose, and will report the results after harvest next year. I‘he seed will be sent out in the order in which the applications are received as long as the supply lasts. Miss Lizzie Fee left this week to take charge of her school again in Sullivan.
