  SUMMARY 
  OF 
  ESTIMATES 
  OF 
  CROPS 
  SATED. 
  

  

  In 
  making 
  their 
  reports 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  benefit 
  received 
  from 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  the 
  infec- 
  

   tion, 
  482 
  of 
  the 
  1,071 
  successful 
  experimenters 
  gave 
  their 
  own 
  estimates 
  of 
  the 
  

   number 
  of 
  bushels 
  of 
  grain 
  saved 
  by 
  the 
  experiment. 
  The 
  sum 
  of 
  these 
  esti- 
  

   mates 
  amounts 
  in 
  cash 
  value 
  to 
  $87,244.10, 
  or 
  an 
  average 
  of 
  $181 
  for 
  each 
  

   farmer. 
  It 
  is 
  fair 
  to 
  presume 
  that 
  this 
  average 
  may 
  be 
  fairly 
  applied 
  to 
  the 
  

   remainder 
  of 
  the 
  1,068 
  successful 
  experiments. 
  This 
  would 
  give 
  an 
  aggre- 
  

   gate 
  saving 
  of 
  $193,308. 
  This 
  amount 
  saved 
  by 
  the 
  farmers 
  means 
  additional 
  

   profit 
  for 
  the 
  railroads 
  and 
  the 
  millers, 
  so 
  that 
  $200,000 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  conservative 
  

   estimate 
  of 
  the 
  actual 
  value 
  of 
  the 
  experiments 
  in 
  1891.
