RATE-OF-SEEDING AND DATE-OF-SEEDING EXPERIMENTS. 



During the years 1912 to 1915, inclusive, rate-of-seeding and date- 

 of-seeding experiments with spring wheat were conducted with the 

 Pacific Bluestem variety. This wheat was sown at rates varying 

 from 2 to 8 pecks per acre on each of two dates, one early and one 

 late in the spring. Unreplicated tenth-acre plats were used, except 

 in 1915, when all seedings were made on duplicate twentieth-acre 

 plats. The 8-peck rate was omitted in 1912 and the 2-peck rate 

 in 1915. Table XIV gives the yields obtained in each year, the 

 average yield from each rate on both dates and on each date in all 

 years, and the average yield of all rates from each date. 



Table XIV shows that there is little difference in the average yield 

 per acre from the different rates of seeding during the four years. The 

 early seeding, however, gave much higher yields than the later seed- 

 ing in every year except 1912. The average increase in yield from
