Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report for 1911 With the Supplement to the "Guide to the Experimental Plots" Containing the Yields Per Acre, Etc
The Half Acre Plot, grown after a bare fallow in alternate years, also yielded well, 17 bushels to the acre, which is higher than it has been for many seasons past. This result is rather remarkable considering the heavy rainfall of the last 3 months of the year 1910, which might have been expected to wash out of the soil the nitrates accumulated during the summer fallow. In an ordinary way the yield of wheat after fallow is largely determined by the rainfall of the preceding autumn.
