RESULTS OF TRIALS IN THIS COUNTRY. 27 



Mr. P. J. Bonzelet, of Eden, Wis.: 



(1905.) This is the best oat, all things considered, that I have ever seen. Yield 

 per acre, 60 bushels. Quality of grain, good. Average yield of other varieties, 35 to 

 40 bushels. 



Mr. Edward Martin, jr., of De Pere, Wis.: 



(1904.) This oat is of the finest quality I have ever seen. It will weigh about 40 

 pounds to the bushel. When I seeded last spring it averaged 108 pounds to the sack. 



Mr. F. H. Williams, of Whitewater, Wis.: 



(1905.) I am not at all pleased with the Swedish Select oat. Have tried it 2 years 

 with about the same result. It does not yield good, crinkles down as soon as it begins 

 to ripen, and has a very thick hull. One of my neighbors had 20 acres on good prairie 

 soil that only yielded about 30 bushels per acre. Another got a yield of 23 bushels per 

 acre. Yield per acre, 25 bushels. Quality of grain, good; very thick hull. Yield 

 per acre of American Banner, same locality, 40 bushels. 



Mr. J. W. Raven, of Bloomer, Wis.: 



(1904.) Those that see the oats want seed. It is the best we have ever raised. A 

 common grain sack holds 105 to 120 pounds. Will have seed grown from 100 acres to 

 sell next year. Yield per acre, 40 bushels. Quality of grain, No. 1. Average yield 

 of other varieties, 35 bushels. 



Mr. John Patterson, of Cumberland, Wis. : 



(1904.) I have grown this oat for 2 years and will say that while the yield is very 

 good the quality is extra good and it ripens from 10 days to 2 weeks before any other 

 variety and about 4 weeks before the side oats, which is the latest kind we have here. 

 All the Swedish Select I grew last year I sold for seed, and what I have grown this 

 year will be sold for seed. Yield per acre, 68 bushels. Average yield of other vari- 

 eties on same farm, 55 bushels. 



Mr. H. S. Pomroy, of Edgerton, Wis.: 



(1904.) I did not keep a record of this variety, but found it not nearly as good as 

 common white oats grown next to it under the same conditions. I shall not try it next 

 season. 



Mr. C. A. Peterson, of Cambridge, Wis.: 



(1904.) The Swedish Select is superior to other varieties in even stand, earliness, 

 heavy kernel, and trueness to type. Yield per acre, 58 bushels. Quality good. 

 Average yield of other varieties, 26 to 30 bushels. 



Mr. H. R. Moldenhauer, of Lebanon, Wis.: 



(1904.) The Swedish Select is the best oat ever raised in this country. All 

 other varieties had very much rust, this oat not enough to mention. The berry is 

 plump, and the yield is more than double that of other crops. Yield per acre, 75 

 bushels. Quality very good. Average yield of other varieties, 30 bushels, and poor 

 at that. 



Mr. A. J. Moe, of Midway, Wis.: 



(1904.) The variety is a fair yielder, stands up well, weighs heavy, and ripens 

 about 2 weeks earlier than other kinds. Yield per acre, 40 bushels. Quality, fine and 

 plump. Average yield of other kinds, 25 to 30 bushels.
