CEREAL EXPERIMENTS IX MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA. 



25 



Of the four varieties which were grown at rates of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 

 8 pecks in 1913 and 1914, the Dietz gave the highest yield from 

 the 8-peck, the Fultz and Stoner from the 4-peek, and the Martin 

 Amber from the 3-peck rale. The differences in yield from the various 

 rales are slight, however, except that the 2-peck rate has given con- 

 sistent ly lower yields.
