"A careful study of the table,'" we quote, "indicates that the yield 

 increases with the size of seed, and that in all cases but one the increase 

 in distance results in a decrease in yield." 



From the same bulletin we quote the tabulated results of another experi- 

 ment with the remarks thereon. 



"The question, Does the smaller or greater amount of flesh in the seed 

 pieces condition the vigor of the plant and consecjuently the yield of the 

 potatoes? Or, in other words, does the amount of nutriment in the seed 

 piece influence the result of the crop? As also, are seed pieces from large 

 tubers more profitable than those from small tubers? was the object of an 

 experiment as illustrated in table No. 3."
