Kansas Bulletin 33 gives the resuls of two years' trials with 

 fanned and unf aimed seed as follows: (61) 



Yield per acre 



Bu. grain Tons straw 



Heavy seed SI. 90 1.92 



Light seed 30.03 1.62 



Common seed SI. 13 1.73 



The seed was graded with a clipper fanning mill. The 

 "common" was wheat as it came from the thresher "but cleaned 

 of trash. It weighed 62^ pounds per bushel. The heavy seed 

 weighed 64fc pounds, and the light weighed 60 7/8 pounds per 

 "bushel. 



The statement of Montgomery above should be taken in the 

 light of the statement of page 22 of the same bulletin that 

 the first two years the lightest seed produced least, the ordin- 

 ary was nezt, and heavy seed yielded the best. Since then the 

 results have varied from year to year and the average for the 

 eight years does not show a marked advantage for either.
