Group C represents a stand of 12 inches of row space to the plant 
in the rows spaced 3^ feet apart and 6 inches in the rows 7 feet apart, 
or approximately 13.000 plants to the acre. At this rate the best 
yields were produced in two years from the rows spaced 3^ feet apart 
and in three years from the rows spaced 7 feet apart, while the 
methods tied in yield in the other year. The rows spaced 7 feet 
apart lead in average yields in all three periods. 
Group D has an average of one plant to 16^ inches of row space 
in rows spaced 3y feet apart and 9.6 inches where the rows are spaced 
7 feet apart, or approximately 9.000 plants to the acre. This rate is 
not represented in 191S by the method with the rows spaced 3^ feet 
apart, which leaves five years only for comparison between the two 
methods. In this period the 3^-foot rows produced the highest 
yield in three years, but in the o-year period the rows spaced 7 feet 
apart produced a higher average yield by 3^ bushels. It is interesting 
to note that the method of spachig the rows 7 feet apart usually 
produced the highest vields hi fan to poor seasons, which is an 
iudication that it is the surest method of growing a grain crop in 
unfavorable seasons.
