1 The varieties in 1907 were destroyed by freezing, and in 1911 the crop was a total failure, due to drought. 
The data shown in Table XXXV indicate that the Kherson and the 
Sixty-Day varieties are superior to all others at North" Platte, al- 
though the Burt has outyielded the Kherson in the four years, 1908, 
1909, 1910, and 1912, by 1.7 bushels. Varieties other than the Sixty- 
Day, Kherson, Burt, and Bed Bustproof are of little value in central 
and western Nebraska. 
Results in Wyoming. 1 
The Kherson and Sixty-Day varieties have been included in the 
varietal experiments at the Cheyenne Experiment Farm, Archer, 
Wyo., since work was begun there in 1913. Two selections of Kher- 
son from the Iowa station have been grown since 1916. Table 
XXXVI shows the annual and average yields of the unselected 
Kherson and Sixty-Day and of five other varieties of oats grown at 
Archer in the 5-year period from 1913 to 1917, inclusive, together 
with the yields of the two Kherson selections in 1916 and 1917. 
1 The results obtained in 1913, 1914, and 1915 were reported in U. S. Department of Agriculture Bulletin 
430 (19). Later data are compiled from unpublished reports of Mr. V. H. Florell, scientific assistant, 
formerly in charge of cereal experiments at the Cheyenne Experiment Farm, to the Office of Cereal Inves- 
tigations.
