This works out at the rate of three bushels per acre, and I have just had them threshed. The yield is 58 bushels per acre first-grade oats. They grew about five feet high, and were free from rust. There seemed to be very little difference in tUo various varieties when growing. The straw would be rather coarse fpr chaff unless set, say, four bushels to the acre. but. for threshing, cither variety would yield very heavily."
