STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE BULLETINS. 



The results from the Early Ohio are practically identical with those of 

 former years. There is a general increase of yield as we go from the 

 smaller to the larger cuttings of seed. This is true in five cases out of six 

 in the above table. It is needless to dwell on the figures, as the conclusion 

 is obvious from the tables. • 



The next profits in this also show a gradual increase up to the half 

 potato. The difference between the half and whole is not great, being but 

 $1.88 in favor of the half.

The Rural New Yorker No. 2, as was the case last year, did not show 

 uniform results. Yet, in three of the six individual cases, the same increase 

 is shown. The general average also shows this increase, the marketable 

 averagesbeing 188, 158, 219, 2G3. 



The column of net profits presents one striking feature, viz., the fact 

 that the profits in this case are largest for the greatest amount of seed. 

 The difference in its favor is very marked. The half comes second and 

 the one eye third. The two eyes, which were far ahead of all the rest last 

 year in this variety, show the least profits of all for this season.
