 TABLE II 



Results 



The yields in Table II. are all based on field weights at han-est 

 time. With all three varieties the well-filled seed ears produced 

 the highest yields, the increase being! from 2.2 to 3.9 l>iishels per 

 acre over the next highest lot. In the 25 comparisons between 

 the two lots, Checks outyielded Lot 3, its nearest competitor. 

 16 tim-es, with one tie; and it outyielded Lots 2, 20 times with 



Previous work had proved Cross 182 more productive than 

 Selection 119. In the tests reported in Table II. they occupied 

 the same amount and kind of soil and Cross 182 is consistently 

 more productive than Selection 119. 



Regarding all three varieties the ears harvested from each of 

 the three lots of seed were equally well-filled and of the same 

 general appearance. These tests warrant the conclusions that 

 ears poorly-filled by reason of withheld pollen will not transmit 

 this character to their progeny, and can be expected to supply 

 seed almost as productive, if not as productive, as they would 

 have supplied if completely pollinated.
