Fig. 7 — Plan for planting oats and spring wheat tests. The entire series was 
repeated 10 times each year 
Oats, Jf-year average — The small seed yielded 11 per cent less 
than the large when sown in equal numbers, and both yielded 
alike when equal weights of seed were used. The unselected seed 
yielded 2 per cent less than the large or small where equal weights 
of seed were used.

^The tests were made in single-row plats in 1911 and in 3-row blocks in 1914, lt>15, and 1916. 
Results are based on the center row of 3-row plats. All plats were replicated 10 times each year.
