in a 6-year test. Yields of the Kherson have been reported for only 
two years at the New Hampshire station. In these years it has 
slightly outyielded the midseason varieties, but the data are too 
meager to justify any definite statement regarding its behavior over 
a longer period. 
The results shown in Tables IV and V indicate that the early varie- 
ties, Kherson and Sixty-Day, are high yielders in the North At- 
lantic States. However, the midseason white varieties have out- 
yielded the Sixty-Day under western New York conditions and 
are therefore recommended for that State. The results obtained 
at State College indicate that for the higher central and western

RESULTS IN THE EAST NORTH-CENTRAL STATES. 
The section designated as the east North-Central States includes 
the States of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois. 
The agricultural experiment stations in all these States except Michi- 
gan have reported varietal experiments in which the Kherson, or 
Sixty-Day, or both have been included. 
The Ohio station has included the Sixty-Day in very extensive 
varietal tests at Wooster since 1904. In 1908 two selections from 
the Sixty-Day were added. At the Indiana station both the Sixty-
