Particulars of an experiment with mixtures of grass and clover seeds for permanent pastures carried out at different centres in North Wales by the staff of the Bangor College indicate that it is not wise to be sparing either in the quantity of seed or the cost of the mixture. Four mixtures were sown, the total quantity varying from 31| to 47Jlb and the cost from 22s lid to 555, per acre. Ifwould be premature to draw definite conclu sions on such an experiment at the end of the second year, but so far the results confirm those of previous years in other investigations. The most liberal and expensive seeding has given the largest crop both this year and last, except at one centre where several of the plants failed to gain a hold, and the turf was patchy in consequence. The mxture which gave the best return included, in addition to the usual quantities of Italian rye grass, cocksfoot, fescues, . clovers, etc., the strong-rooted plants recommended by Mr C. H. Elliot, namely, yarrow, burnet, chicory, kidney vetch, and sheep's parsley.
