generation, to the detriment of both crop and man, a vig- 
orous attempt should be made to secure a practical remedy 
against such a trouble. With this object in view, the fol- 
lowing experiments were tried. The seed planted was of 
the same as that used in plats A, B, C, and D. The soil 
was well adapted to the oat plant, and all the experiments. 
were carried on side by side under conditions as nearly 
alike as it was possible to secure. Five rows were planted 
in each experiment, each being 33 feet long and two feet 
feet apart. Seed was distributed about one inch apart in 
the row. Before planting it was rolled in slacked lime so 
as to separate the grains.
