Twenty-three varieties were tested. The varieties whkh made the largest yield were Banner No. 160 and American Triumph No. 162. But during the year 1908 Sixty-day oats made the largest yield, except the Kher­son which was brought from the Brookings Station. In a seven year average 'this variety has made a yield of 62.5 bushels at the Brookings Station. ,vhile Banner No. 160 for a peri�d of six years under the same con·

· ditions has made a yield of 28.64 bushels. The Sixty­day variety is least affected by rust, only ten per cent was affected by leaf rust and the same percent by stem rust.
