Results in Nebraska. 



The annual and average yields of the Kherson, the Sixty-Day, 

 and seven other varieties of oats grown at the Nebraska Agricultural 

 Experiment Station at Lincoln (21 and 27) during six or more years in 

 the 14-year period from 1903 to 1916, inclusive, are given in Table 

 XVIII. 



The data in Table XVIII show that the early red varieties have 

 decidedly outyielded both the early yellow and midseason white 

 varieties at Lincoln. In the 12-year period from 1905 to 1916, 

 inclusive, the Kherson has fallen 7.4 bushels below the Burt and 

 5.8 bushels below the Hed Rustproof (Texas Red) in average yield 

 per acre. In this period the Swedish Select has yielded 3.5 bushels 

 less than the Kherson and 10.9 bushels less than the Burt. The 

 data show conclusively that the Kherson is better than the mid- 

 season varieties in eastern Nebraska where the conditions are simi- 

 lar to those at Lincoln, but that the Red Rustproof and Burt are 

 superior to it.
