According to a bulletin just put out

oat seed, even tho II is expensive and
has large yielding records elsewhere,
Of the bulletin. bases his statement up
on experiments with imported oat seed
covering from three to five years and
including seventy-seven different
samples. One Of the best samples OF
oats ever seen at the Iowa station and
from the sack OF oats that won The
champion ship at the Portland exposi-
ton. yielded only eighteen and seven
teIsths bushels per acre. weighing sew
enteen and one-haf pounds. as against
a yield Of twenty eight bushels per
acre. weighing nineteen pounds, for

subsequent years this championships
oats did better. All imported oats In
the test improved in yield after &C

Mr.. Burnett. the experimentalst, al

may be over done. He tested tanning

yields and other conditions, with the
result that oats famed two times does

station has secured better results with
rate Of from three to four and one

two to two and one-half bushels per
acre, which is about the average rate
from Iowa farmers. The average yield
for four years from a wo-bushel rate
for Kherson oats was forty-nire and
four-tenths bushels per acre; the aver
age yield for the same time for a
three bushel rate was flfty-three and
seven-tenths bushels In all the tests
at the station farm, the kherson and
Stlvermine varieties of oats gave the
best yields, covering q period Of seven
years.
The bulletin is the most valuable
publication on oats growing ever put
out by the Iowa station. both from the
standpoint Of the information it con-
tains and the extensive work in which
its information is based. 1t is timely
because there is1no crop in Iowa that
