Results in Nebraska. 
The annual and average yields of the Kherson, the Sixty-Day, 
and seven other varieties of oats grown at the Nebraska Agricultural 
Experiment Station at Lincoln (21 and 27) during six or more years in 
the 14-year period from 1903 to 1916, inclusive, are given in Table 
XVIII. 
The data in Table XVIII show that the early red varieties have 
decidedly outyielded both the early yellow and midseason white 
varieties at Lincoln. In the 12-year period from 1905 to 1916, 
inclusive, the Kherson has fallen 7.4 bushels below the Burt and 
5.8 bushels below the Red Rustproof (Texas Red) in average yield 
per acre. In this period the Swedish Select has yielded 3.5 bushels 
less than the Kherson and 10.9 bushels less than the Burt. The 
data show conclusively that the Kherson is better than the mid- 
season varieties in eastern Nebraska where the conditions are simi- 
lar to those at Lincoln, but that the Red Rustproof and Burt are 
superior to it.
