in some experiment stand at or near the head of the 

 list as regards productiveness and also at or near the 

 foot of the list in other experiments. Some varie- 

 ties headed the list much more frequently than 

 others, while some produced the smallest yield more 

 frequently. 



The following table contains some generalizations 

 derived from the experiments. It gives the number 

 of times each variety was tested along side of a 

 number of other varieties, the number of times it 

 produced the largest yield, the number of times it 

 produced the smallest yield, its average yield in 

 bushels to the acre for each year tested and its 

 general average yield to the acre for the whole 

 number of tests.
