Seed, 11 pounds per acre. 44 oz. 325 lbs. 
Yield, 21.64 bushels per acre. 4.41 bushels. 
These wheats were put in under quite unfavorable 
circumstances. The soil was exceedingly dry and there 
was no water in the ditches to assist germination. A 
part of it came up within two weeks after it was planted, 
and the rest did not even germinate until after it had 
been irrigated. The table shows that thin seeding is 
again not far behind.

In these experiments, the yield is very arbitrary and 
quite puzzling withal. Each row and every variety were 
treated alike in every respect. The thickest sowing in 
this plat shows up poorly, while the thinnest (Ho. 58), 
shows the greatest yield. 
The following list of wheats, oats and barley 
embody a few spring and winter varieties of wheat, some 
of the seed of which has been received from foreign 
countries, and others that have been changed and are 
being changed from Winter to Spring wheats. The table 
shows how many grains out of 100 planted, germinated, 
their yield in pounds and ounces, yield per acre and the 
number of days ripening :
