*The " accession nurnber" in this and the following tables refer'to the arbitrary numbers 

 given to the varieties in Table 1 (p. 149). By means of these numbers it is possible to 

 find the original source of the seed of any variety. 



tStraw damp when weighed. 



From Table 3 it will be noted : 



1. That the yield of grain varied from 73.3 to 46.7 bushels 

 per acre. The average for all the varieties was 64.2 bushels. 



2. The Regenerated Swedish Select (Nos. 15 and 13) gave 

 the highest yield. The third sample of Regenerated Swedish
