experiments WIN OdNbs
The following bulletin regarding results Of
experiments with two varieties Of oats, has
been Issued by the Nebraska Experiment
station:
"In the spring OF 1901. two varieties OF
oats from among those grown at the ex-
pertinent station we're selected for distri-
button to cooperative experimenters who
had on previous occasions carefully con-
Quoted experiments in cooperation with
the station and had made accurate re-
ports. The oats sent out to test were
both Russian varieties that had been i'm
ported some years before and had become
adapted to the region and improved while
being grown here. The variety designated
az university No. 1, was selected on account
Of its ability to make a crop on a very
limited amount Of moisture and in a hot
season. These are the two most unfavor-
able conditions for the oat plant and great
resistance to them in any variety Is seldom
found, especially in a white oat. The oat In
question has a short upright stem open
panicle a small white berry with thin hull.
and natures earlier than any variety VS.
have grown at the experiment station. Uni
versity oat No. 2, is a taller growing, later
maturing oat, with a larger, plump berry,
and is much less drouth resistent, but has
less tendency TO lOoBe Jndu OlueI large
varieties grown at the station.
Results obtained at the station indi-
cate that the university No. 1 would be a
valuable variety for the central part Of the
state and that university No. 2. would be
best adapted to the eastern. and particularly
the northern portion. but it is not Of as
much promise as the other"
