variety, and 36.5 per cent greater than that of the late one. The 
same relative relation exists between the leading varieties of the 
different groups for the four years 1909, 1911, 1912, and 1913, when 
both the actual and computed yields can be compared.

LEADING VARIETIES. 
Of all the varieties tested, a few which have proved to be best 
adapted should be more generally grown. A knowledge of the 
characteristics of the leading varieties will enable the farmer to 
decide which is best fer him to grow. There is a wide range in the 
time of maturity of the different varieties of oats, thus enabling the 
grower to choose the one which best fits into his farm practice. 
THOR MEDIUM-EARLY GROUP. 
Of more than 30 varieties of medium-early oats which have been 
tested at Dickinson, the Early Mountain, Golden Rain, and Victory 
have so far proved superior.
