and spikelets of a mid- 

 variety of oats, Goldon 



Tartar King, the one late side va- 

 riety which has been tested, has fallen 

 decidedly below both the early and 

 midseason varieties in average yield 

 per acre and has been discarded. A 

 panicle and spikelets of Golden Rain, a 

 midseason yellow variety of oats, are 

 shown in figure 14. 



RESULTS AT GOODING. 



Average 3'ields of the Kherson, the 

 Sixty-Day, and eight other varieties of 

 oats grown during one or more years 

 in the 6-year period from 1910 to 

 1916, inclusive, under irrigation at 

 Gooding, Idaho (48), are shown in 

 Table LIII. 



Unfortunately, the Kherson and the 

 Sixty-Day were included in the ex- 

 periments at Gooding during only one 

 year, and as a result sufficient data on 

 these varieties are not available to 

 justify drawing definite conclusions 

 regarding their value. The data shown 

 in Table LIII indicate, however, that 

 the best midseason white varieties will 

 probably outyield them in most years. 

 The contradictory results obtained 

 here and at Aberdeen are perhaps due 

 to the lower altitude at Gooding, with 

 the resultant longer and warmer grow- 

 ing season.
