of the samples from the thin and thick sown portions of the plots, 
with the general result that the quality of the grain was somewhat 
better on the thick sown portions. The quantity produced per acre 
was, in several cases, larger in the thin sown than in the thick 
sown. Dr. Gilbert in considering these results says, " The question 
arises how far this is due to the thin crops being much cleaner from 
the extra hoeing, and being much less laid, or how far to the fewer 
plants having a better command of the resources of the soil."
