At the Ohio station, where last season ie oat erop was the poorest one on record, wing to a peculiar disease that prevailed iroughout the state, only four out of ie fifty-four differently named sarta ;ested by the station yielded so mach as lirty-three bushels per acre. These were: mproved American, Dakota Gray, White anadian and State of North Dakota. 'hese were followed close by Monarch, Early Dakota, Black Tartarian and Wide Awake. In a series of tests, extending over even years, the Monarch, Early Dakota, White Schoenen, Rust Proof and Kansas :ybrid have given the largest yield. In general . five to eight pecks of seed oats have given a larger yield than a larger quaudty, and drilling has been followed by better crops than broadcast seeding.
