Tartar King, the one late side va- 
riety which has been tested, has fallen 
decidedly below both the early and 
midseason varieties in average yield 
per acre and has been discarded. A 
panicle and spikelets of Golden Rain, a 
midseason yellow variety of oats, are 
shown in figure 14.

Fig. 14. — Panicle and spikelets of a mid- 
season yellow variety of oats, Golden 
Rain. 
Average yields of the Kherson, the 
Sixty-Day, and eight other varieties of 
oats grown during one or more years 
in the 6-year period from 1910 to 
1916, inclusive, under irrigation at 
Gooding, Idaho (48), are shown in 
Table LIII. 
Unfortunately, the Kherson and the 
Sixty-Day were included in the ex- 
periments at Gooding during only one 
year, and as a result sufficient data on 
these varieties are not available to 
justify drawing definite conclusions 
regarding their value . The data shown 
in Table LIII indicate, however, that 
the best midseason white varieties will 
probably outyield them in most years. 
The contradictory results obtained 
here and at Aberdeen are perhaps due 
to the lower altitude at Gooding, with 
the resultant longer and warmer grow- 
ing; season.
