CEREAL EXPERIMENTS IN MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA. 
25 
Of the four varieties which were grown at rates of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 
8 pecks in 1913 and 1914, the Dietz gave the highest yield from 
the 8-peck, the Fultz and Stoner from the 4-peck, and the Martin 
Amber from the 3-peck rate. The differences in yield from the various 
rates are slight, however, except that the 2-peck rate has given con- 
sistently lower yields.
