EXPERIMENTS WITH KHERSON AND SIXTY-DAY OATS. 



29 



The data in Tabic XIX show that for eastern Kansas the Kherson 

 and Sixty-Day are close competitors of the Burt, Red Rustproof, 

 and other early red varieties. In the nine years, 1908, 1909, and 1911 

 to 1917, inclusive, the average yield of the SLxty-Day was 38.1 bushels 

 and that of the Burt 42.2 bushels. In the 7-year period from 1911 

 to 1917, inclusive, the Kherson strain, Kansas No. 6021, has fallen 

 about 4 bushels below the Red Algerian, but has outyielded the 

 Green Russian, the only midseason white variety included in llio 

 tests, by about 1.5 bushels.

 of several groups of oats at eight experiment stations in the west north-central section during the periods 

 of years indicated. 



Conclusions. 



The average yield of the leading variety in each group at the 

 stations included in the west north-central section is shown graph- 

 ically in figure 7. 



In general, Kherson and Sixty-Day oats have yielded as well as or 

 slightly better than other varieties in this section.
