two on fallow and two on cornland, which has resulted in some 
reduction in average yield. Good yields were obtained in 1910, 
1912, 1914, and 1915. 
Some plats yielded well in 1920, but the 
average yields for the year were not high. The yields in 1911, 1913, 
1917, 1918, and 1921 were reduced by drought, the seasons of 1911 
and 1921 being especially dry. 
The crops of 1915, LON, 
1922 were reduced by winterkilling and soil blowing. 
1915 and 1920 would doubtless have been the best in the history of 
the station had the plats contained normal stands. 
The

yields of 
Half of the plats 
sown in the fall of 1916 were abandoned in 1917 on account of 
winterkilling.
