EXPERIMENTS WITH KHERSON AND SIXTY-DAY OATS. 
19 
Conclusions. 
The average yield of the leading variety in each group at the 
stations included in the east North-Central States is shown graph- 
ically in figure 4. 
The data presented in Table VI indicate that under Ohio condi- 
tions early oats will yield about as well as the best midseason white 
varieties, such as Siberian, Big Four, Improved American, and Silver- 
mine, and that where early maturity is an advantage they are prefer- 
able to these varieties. The late white side varieties are not to be 
recommended.

Fig. 4.— Diagram showing the average yields, in bushels per acre, of the highest yielding variety of each 
of several groups of oats at six agricultural experiment stations in the east North-Central States, during 
the periods of years indicated. 
The results obtained at La Fayette, Ind., show that the Kherson 
and the Sixty-Day are not desirable for growing in that State. The 
midseason white varieties apparently are the best under Indiana 
conditions. The midseason varieties are preferable to the early yel- 
low varieties, Kherson and Sixty-Day, for the greater portion of 
Michigan. 
The available Wisconsin data happen to include results for two 
years which were particularly unfavorable to midseason and late 
oats. They serve to show, however, that early oats are well worth 
growing on a part of the acreage in that State, particularly in the 
southern half.
