and average acre yields for each variety and the average yield for 
all varieties each year are given. A portion of the data for Brook- 
ings and Highmore is also shown graphically in figure 6. The per- 
formance of varieties at Brookings is representative of what might 
be expected in the eastern part of the State. 
Table VIII. — Annual and average yields in South Dakota of the varieties of 
oats tested at Brookings and Highmore from 1906 to 1912 and of two varieties 
at Eureka and Cottonwood from 1909 to 1912.

1 Average for six years only. The crop failure of 1911 caused the loss of seed and made it impossible to 
continue some of the tests. This, however, does not affect the relative position of the varieties. 
2 Average of varietal averages. Average of annual averages is 32.5 bushels. 
3 While small yields were obtained in 1912, they were not sufficient to pay for harvesting and are there- 
fore not considered. No variety was sufficiently resistant to withstand the severe conditions and yield 
profitably. 
4 Five-year average. 
5 Six-year average. 
6 Average of varietal averages. The average of annual averages is 21.6 bushels.
