Plat 8 has shown, as has been repeatedly pointed out 

 throughout the entire experiment, exceptional conditions, 

 due apparently to injury by insects in the early stage of the 

 growth. 



The low yield of Plat 10 in 1892 is evidently due to the 

 use of a lower rate of seed, being the first plat to adjust the 

 seed drill for a definite amount of seed.
