FALL-SOWN OATS IN THE SOUTH At 
(Hundred Bushel) ranks first in yield. Bancroft and Coker Appler 
rank second in yield at Athens and Tifton, respectively. The 
Fulghum variety produced 97.1 per cent of the yield of the Hasting 
at Athens, while at Tifton it produced only 82.8 per cent of the 
yield of that strain. This result probably is due to the greater prey- 
alence of leaf rust at Tifton. Burt (Early Ripe) produced 62.8 
and 58.9 per cent of the yield of Hasting at Athens and at Tifton, 
respectively. In Georgia, Winter Turf was inferior to all other 
varieties, yielding only 60.6 per cent at Athens as compared to 100 
per cent for Hasting and 97.1 per cent for Fulghum. ;
