Experiments of a fact finding

nature, involving over l.llX) plots. were under study on six Illustration Stations in Prince Ed- ward lsland and two in the Magdalen islands during the year. These stations are so locat- cd that research work may be conducted on all major soil types found in the province. Illustration Stations are located on privately owned farms operat- ed by T.
