EXPERIMENTS WITH KHERSON AND SIXTY-DAY OATS. 
29 
The data in Table XIX show that for eastern Kansas the Kherson 
and Sixty-Day are close competitors of the Burt, Red Rustproof, 
and other early red varieties. In the nine years, 1908, 1909, and 1911 
to 1917, inclusive, the average yield of the Sixty-Day was 38.1 bushels 
and that of the Burt 42.2 bushels. In the 7-year period from 1911 
to 1917, inclusive, the Kherson strain, Kansas No. 6021, has fallen 
about 4 bushels below the Red Algerian, but has outyielded the 
Green Russian, the only midseason white variety included in the 
tests, by about 1.5 bushels.

Fig. 7. — Diagram showing the average yields, in bushels per acre, of the highest yielding variety of each 
of several groups of oats at eight experiment stations in the west north-central section during the periods 
of years indicated. 
Conclusions. 
The average yield of the leading variety in each group at the 
stations included in the west north-central section is shown graph- 
ically in figure 7. 
In general, Kherson and Sixty-Day oats have yielded as well as or 
slightly better than other varieties in this section.
