iThe tests were made in single-row plats in 1912 and 1913 and in 3-row blocks in 1914, 1915, 
and 1916. Results are based on the center row of 3-row blocks. 
All tests were replicated 10 times each year, except the unselected seed which was repeated 
30 times. 
The small seed sown in equal numbers weighed 57 per cent as 
much as the large, while in equal weights the number of small 
seed exceeded the large 80 per cent. 
Spring wheat, 2-year average — When sown in equal numbers, 
the small seed yielded 10 per cent less than the large seed, while 
it yielded 1 per cent less when equal weights of seed were sown. 
The unselected seed yielded 8 per cent more than the large when 
sown in equal weights. 
The small seed sown in equal numbers weighed 53 per cent as 
much as the large, while in equal weights the number of small 
seeds exceeded the large 93 per cent.
