plats. The rows were harvested separately in the three-row 
plats. 
In 1914 the two-rate yielded 18 per cent less than the 
four-rate when compared in alternating single-row plats. In 
the center rows of alternating three-row plats, the two-rate 
yielded 16 per cent more than the four-rate. Due to compe- 
tition with a thicker stand, the two-rate yielded relatively 
29.3 per cent too low in alternating single-row plats. In the 
two outer rows of the three-row plats, the ratio of the four- 
rate to the two-rate was 100:106.5 as compared with 100:116 
for the center rows.
