For this study, Table XVIII has been compiled from the data 
given in Tables V to XVII, inclusive. The average yields of corn by 
each method and the profits or losses attending the use of each 
method, as shown in the detail tables for the several stations, are 
here assembled.

Three series of graphs (figs. 4, 5, and 6) are also presented. Figure 
4, prepared from a part of the data in Table XVII, shows in graphic 
form the average yields of grain in bushels per acre at each station for 
each of the five methods studied that have been under trial at all of 
the stations. The Judith Basin Field Station is not shown in this 
figure for the reason that grain was neither produced nor expected at 
that station in this work. Garden City is also omitted because the 
grain there produced was insufficient to warrant husking. 
Figure 5 is a graphic presentation of the yields of stover as shown 
in Table XVIII. Like figure 4, it includes only the five methods that 
have been under trial at all stations.
