In order to compare the efficacy of the different treat- 
ments, the above ten plats are tabulated below in their 
order of increase in percentage of smut, beginning at the 
minimum. In every one of the ten experiments, the testi- 
mony is positive in demonstrating that good has resulted 
from the treatment of the seed. In one case only has the 
percentage of smut exceeded one-half the average percent- 
age in plat A, while generally the loss is very small, and in 
two cases none at all.
