which they originated as well as from the average for all lines. 

 Thus the Preston Line 2383 has a 1000-kernel-weight over 10 

 grams lower than the average for the variety and over 18 grams 

 lower than the highest weight in this variety, — 44.789 grams of 

 Line 2400. This line exceeds the average for the variety by 

 nearly 8 grams. With the exception of Line No. 2389 the Red 

 Fife lines show a remarkable uniformity in the 1000 kernel 

 weight with an average below that for all lines. The Bluestem 

 strains rank higher with an average equal to that for all lines,
