The best of the very early, bul lower-yielding and shorter-strawed barleys, is the Early Six. Spring and winter rye arc also grown on a small acreage of the park belt. Prolific is a promising sort of spring rye. while N. D. No. 959 is probably the best \\ inter variety. Among peas the early varieties are to be preferred. Arthur has been commonly recommended in the past. Early White is recommended for Saskatchewan condi- tions and Alberta Blue is spoken of very highly in Al- berta.
