Comparative stand of winter wheats.—As used here, ‘‘stand’’? means 
the number of thousands of plants to the acre which have survived 
the winter and actually grown on the plats. This was determined 
in the following way: A heht metal frame 3.3 feet square, con- 
taining 1/4,000 of an acre, was used to inclose the areas in which the 
plants were actually counted. On plats that had reasonably uniform 
stands, four areas, chosen at random but fairly representative of the 
entire plat, were selected and the plants in them counted. The total 
number of plants found on the four areas equaling 1/1,000 of an acre 
is the number of thousands of plants per acre. Where the plats 
were unusually lacking in uniformity, more than four areas were 
counted, and the number of plants per acre calculated accordingly. 
There was found to be a wide variation in the average number of 
plants per acre for all varieties in different years. An exceptionally 
severe winter would result in considerable winterkilling (affecting 
some varieties more than others), and this invariably would result in 
low yields. There seems to have been no correlation, however, 
between the stand and the yield of the varieties. In many cases 
there would seem to be a direct relationship between stand and
