Table III. — Data of the Cabbage Rot Experiment in 1900. 



The crop was harvested November 12. A record was kept of 

 the number of marketable heads and their weight; also, of the 

 number of heads too small for market, but no account was taken 

 of plants which failed to head. All heads, both marketable and 

 small, were examined for evidences of black rot. These data are 

 fully shown in the following table: 



As in 1899, the greater yield of the treated half-acre was not 

 the result of the treatment. Again, the check was the most 

 injured by the muskrats. Another thing which reduced the yield 

 on the check was the supplementary leaf-pulling experiment con- 

 ducted there. (See page 105.) On account of this experiment 

 the number of marketable heads was reduced by 207 and the 

 yield by 11 51 lbs., which should be added to the figures given 

 in the above table. Thus corrected, the yield of the check would 

 be 1432 marketable heads having a weight of 5651 lbs.
