Arranging the figures which give the merchantable and total yields 
of the different varieties so as to bring the yields of the largest, and 
of the smallest tubers of each class in a separate column, we have a

From the latter table it appears: 
Ist. That the merchantable yield of the largest tuber of A exceeds 
that of the largest tuber of B in seven cases out of ten. 
2nd. That the merchantable yield of the smallest tuber of A ex- 
ceeds that of the largest tuber of B in six cases out of ten. 
3rd. That the merchantable yield of the smallest tuber of A ex- 
ceeps that of the smallest tuber of B in eight cases out of nine.
