Discussion of results. — Because of the shape of the plats^ the 

 influence of vaiiations in the original amount of smut and soil 

 conditions was not so completely eliminated as it was in Series I. 

 Hence the results obtained In Series II are less reliable than 

 those obtained in Series I; that is to say, that where there is a 

 difference in yield between a treated plat and its check that dif-
