YIII.-SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES OF CROPS SAVED IN KANSAS. 



Of the 1,044 field experimenters in Kansas who report successful results, 

 383 gave estimates of crops saved to them by reason of the experiments. The 

 sum in cash value of these estimates is .$39,481.15, or an average of ^103.08 for 

 each experimenter. If the average may be fairly applied to the remainder 

 of the 1,044 successful experimenters, an aggregate saving of $107,615.52 to 

 the Kansas experimenters may be estimated. The reported estimates, arranged 

 by crops, are as follows : 



Wheat — 2,283 bushels, at 50c |1,141 50 



115 acres (estimated saving of 5 bushels per acre) = 



575 bushels, at 50c 287 .50 $1,429 00
