for that section. (Table 7.) This advantage is probably due to 
their greater resistance to leaf rust as compared with Fulghum. 
The experiments at the South Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical 
College, Tifton, Ga., gave similar results. (Table 8.) 
The experiments at Ashburn and Quitman (Table 9), although 
covering shorter periods, show that such strains of Red Rustproof as 
Appler, Hasting (Hundred Bushel), and Bancroft are all high yielders. 
The Fulghum variety also yields equally well in that section. 
A detailed analysis and comparison of the yields of the varieties 
and strains grown at Athens and Tifton are shown in Table 10.

The analyses of the yields obtained at Athens and at Tifton indicate 
that there are distinct differences in the yielding powers of the various 
named strains of the Red Rustproof oat. At both stations Hasting ~
