SOME CONDITTONrt INFLUENCING THE YIELD OF liOl'S.

Table III. — Coniinirison af Ihc pnxlHction of hops lo the hill uiul the iiiiinber 



of vines lo I he hill. 



In the first column of the table the yield per hill is given to the 

 nearest half pound. The figures at the top of the following columns 

 indicate the number of vines produced by each hill occurring therein, 

 and the liills in each column are distributed according to their produc- 

 tion to the nearest half pound. For example, from column 1 it will 

 be seen that ten 1-vine hills produced 0.5 pound each, twenty-three 

 1-vine hills produced 1 pound each, etc. ; from column 2 eight 2-vine 

 hills })roduced 0.5 pound each, seventeen 2-vine hills produced 1 

 l)ound each; from column 3 seven 3-vine hills produced 1 pound each, 

 four 3-vine hills produced 1.5 pounds each, and so on for the entire 

 tabU'. At the foot of the table the totals show the entire number of 

 hills piddiicing the number of vines indicated by the figure at the top 

 of the respective columns. 



A study of Tabh" III will show that the larger numbers in each 

 column occur in groiii)s. but that the position of these groups with 

 respect to the production jxt liill is very different. Thus (from 

 column 1) 10, 23. and 11 hills produced 0.5, 1, and 1.5 pounds each.
