Summary of Yields. 



A definite quantity of each of the two varieties of green 

 material was separated into liuslvs, ears, leaves and stalks, 

 in order to determine the relative proportions of each. The 

 figures show percentages or pounds in 100. 



(rt) Yield of Parts. 



The results are in accordance with the teaching of the 

 analytical data. The Eureka showed only 7.25 per cent, of 

 ears, while the Pride of the North contained 22.11 per cent. 

 The Pride of the North variety consisted of 46.75 per 

 cent, of stalks, and the Eureka 63.62 per cent. The Eureka, 

 even at its less advanced stage of growth, contained only 

 slightly more leafy matter than the Pride of the North. 



(b) Yield ])er Ac?-e (Poimds). 



1 Obtained by allowing 67 per cent, of the. dry matter to be digestible in the Eureka, 

 and 71 per cent, in the Pride of the North, as determined by actual experiment. 



The above results indicate strongly that the Eureka, al- 

 though a larger variety, yielding consideral)le more green 

 material than the Pride of the North, is not likely to furnish 

 an}' more actual food to the acre. In the present instances,
