i The crops of 1911 and 1913 were so nearly destroyed by drought and insects that no yields were weighed. 
GARDEN CITY FIELD STATION. 
Table XV presents data on the production of corn by different 
methods at Garden City, Kans. Yields are presented for only four 
years. In both 1908 and 1910 there was a fair crop of fodder but 
weights were not obtained. In 1913 the crop was destroyed by a 
hailstorm on July 4.
