Fig. 9.— Diagram slio\^ing the average yields, in bushels per acre, of the highest yielding variety of caen 

 of several groups of oats at five agricultural experiment stations in the lover Mississippi Valley durir g 

 the periods of years indicated. 



In general, oat growing, particularly from sprmg seeding, is not 

 important in the lower Mississippi Valley. The best oat to sow in 

 this section, whether in the fall or in the spring, is the Ked Rust- 

 proof, The next best variety for spring seeding probably is the 

 Burt, and next to this ranks the Sixty-Day, or Kierson. The Sixty- 

 Day type is not extensively grown in this section, and comparatively 

 few experiments including varieties of this type have been reported.
