*Plots marked with (*) were planted May 4, the remaining plots were planted May 23. 



From this table the following points may be noted : 



1. The average yield for the two plots ranges from 68.3 

 bushels per acre in the case of the Lincoln variety to 43.3 bush- 

 els in the Daubeney. The average yield of all the plots is 55.6 

 bushels per acre. The average yield of the early seeded plots 

 in field B is 62.1 bushels, while the average of the late seeded 

 plots is only 51.4 bushels. This decrease in yield of 10.7 bush- 

 els or nearly 18 percent is due mainly to the late seeding. 



2. The highest yield of any plot in field B was at the rate 

 of 76.1 bushels per acre for the Early Pearl variety. Three 

 other plots in this field yielded above 70 bushels per acre. The 

 highest yield in field A was from the Lincoln plot which yielded 

 at the rate of 65.9 bushels per acre. Only four other plots in 

 this field yielded more than 60 bushels per acre.
