After the wet weather in the spring, the whole field was badly 
affected by rust, and no exemption, even partial, could be noticed 
in favor of any of the strips. After a few weeks of drier weather, 
the oats outgrew the effects of rust enough to make an average 
crop. Although there were some differences in yield, they were 
- not great enough to justify any conclusions from one season’s 
trial. The differences in weight per struck bushel of grain, from a 
__ yarious strips, were even less, and no difference could be attributed , 
_ to the influence of the chemicals. The average weight was bs 
but little more than thirty-two pounds to the bushel. The results - 
4 are not given in detail, but if they prove of value in connection ~ i 
_ with future data from field work, will be published. y 
_ -* This work was carried on with the co-operation of Mr. Emery, who 
_. wished to observe any effect on the weight of the grain per bushel.
