generally, it is noticeable that the average percentage of typical 

 kernels also follows the same order as the protein content, al- 

 though the difference is slight. If the average be made after 

 discarding the last sample, which constitutes the single exception 

 above referred to, the order in the average of typical kernels 

 will appear absolutely the same a.s that of the protein content, 

 and very consistently bears out the results secured at Davis and 

 Tulare, previously discussed. While it may reduce the yield, 

 relatively late seeding tends to produce a grain of better quality, 

 than does early planting. 



This same fact is further evidenced by a series of thirty- 

 seven (37) types of New South Wales hybrid stocks seeded at 

 Davis in the season of 1910-11 ; the dates of planting being 

 December 12, 1910. and February 20, 1911. The analyses from 

 this lot are tabulated below :
