1 1 . These results indicate that the Alexander is producing a 4% higher 

 yield than the Worthy, yet farmers have generally preferred the latter. 

 As a rule, the Alexander has been grown more extensively on ths lighter 

 soils, though some people prefer Alexander for heavy soils. 



12. The (yollege Success, College- Wonder, and Wolverine have not 

 been in the hands of the farmers long enough to establish their relative 

 value. Of these three, the College Wonder is the most widely grown and 

 apparently is gaining in popularity. On an average, it has produced a 

 13.5% higher yiold than the Worthy at College, and a 23.8% higher yield 

 over the State. 



13. The College Success is favored by the farmers of Ottawa and 

 neighboring counties. This is a late variety and does well only where it 

 has a long growing season. 



14. The Wolverine has produced a 21.8% higher yield than the Worthy 

 and it will undoubtedly prove a valuable addition to Michigan agriculture.
