Seed of the inbred lines involved in these crosses was contributed by the state or federal corn breeder who developed them. The following indi- viduals formed the committees responsible for collecting inbred seed, mak- ing the crosses, and distributing seed of the three-way test crosses to state and federal agencies interested in conducting tests: Iowa 4059 and U.S. 13 maturities, J. H. Lonnquist (Nebraska), G. F. Sprague (Iowa), and G. H. Stringfield (Ohio) ; 111. 448 maturity, M. S. Zuber (Missouri) , L. A. Tatum (Kansas), and R. W. Jugenheimer (Illinois). M. T. Jenkins (U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture) is responsible for summarizing the data from the individual workers, making the predictions, and mimeographing the report. 1950] EXPERIMENTAL CORN HYBRIDS TESTED IN 1949 535 RESULTS OF THE TESTS The data obtained from these tests are summarized in Tables 3 to 9 on the following pages. Seedsmen are urged not to give too much consideration to small, or in some cases what may seem to be quite substantial, differences in yields among entries, for it is not possible to determine the relative yielding ability of a hybrid with absolute accuracy. Small differences between entries are seldom of any significance ; and what may seem to be even fairly large dif- ferences may not, in reality, prove significant when subjected to statistical analysis. Note, for example, in Table 3 that in the four-year averages one entry must yield 6 bushels more than another before the difference becomes sig- nificant. Of the five entries here only that with the highest yield (92 bush- els) and the one with the lowest yield (86 bushels) show enough difference for the difference to be significant. In Section C of this table, where only one year's results are given, one entry must yield 16 bushels more than another before it can be said that there is a significant difference in yielding ability. The fact is that differences in yield are to be expected among plots planted with the same seed. These differences may be due to such things as slight variations in the soil or in stand. While these variations are re- duced by repeating, or "replicating," the planting of the same hybrid several times in the same test, differences will still remain that cannot be said to be due to anything but chance. How much is due to chance is determined by statistical analysis. These differences are called "significant differences" and are shown for each group of data in the following tables. Another difficulty in comparing the yielding ability of different hybrids is that they may respond differently to seasonal conditions some, for example, doing better than others in a dry season, or a short season, or a cool season, or under some other handicap, and some doing better than others when conditions are reversed. In 1949 some hybrids performed quite satisfactorily despite corn borer infestation, disease prevalence, and strong winds. Others that had been among the best performers in previous years did very poorly when subjected to these conditions. Two-, three-, and four-year averages are therefore much more reliable indexes to relative yielding ability than is the performance of one year alone. Those parts of the tables summarizing the results of two or more years therefore deserve the most weight. 536 BULLETIN No. 538 Table 3.
