Agricultural Experiment Station Agronomy Pamphlets (1944-1969)
The information in this pamphlet is based on the results of the cooperative tests in South Dakota and from summarized results of tests in other areas.

The data taken are summarized and used as a basis for recommendations. For the well-known varieties, 5-year averages are reported. With the newer ones only the 1945 results are given. It should be emphasized that an average of several years is superior to one year’s data.
