The results of eight years' experiments recorded in Bulletin 

 No. 54 of the same station are similar. 



Of oats he says in Bulletin 63, n light inferior seed 

 is certain to produce less than seed of a fair quality, "but 

 "between a fair quality of seed oats and heavy sifted seed 



there is not much difference." n the average for seven 



years is, however, in favor of heavy seed." 



In 1892-3 Eesprez at the Experiment Station of Capello 

 (4) experimented with seed of different sizes and from dif- 

 ferent locations in the spike, with results as follow:

The seed was sown in drills eight inches apart and eight 

 inches in the rows. They were sown with large-seed drills 

 alternating with small-seed drills. The author draws no 

 conclusions. 



Two years later (5) he reports experiments with large 

 kernels selected from a crop grown from large seed for three 

 years and with small seed grown from small seed for several 

 years. Five varieties of wheat were used. The average re-
