Fig. 9.— Diagram showing the average yields, in bushels per acre, of the highest yielding variety of each 
of several groups of oats at five agricultural experiment stations in the lower Mississippi Valley during 
the periods of years indicated. 
In general, oat growing, particularly from spring seeding, is not 
important in the lower Mississippi Valley. The best oat to sow in 
this section, whether in the fall or in the spring, is the Red Rust- 
proof. The next best variety for spring seeding probably is the 
Burt, and next to this ranks the Sixty-Day, or Kherson. The Sixty- 
Day type is not extensively grown in this section, and comparatively 
few experiments including varieties of this type have been reported.
