data("mcclelland.corn.uniformity")

Format

A data frame with 438 observations on the following 3 variables.

row: row
col: column
yield: yield

Details

A uniformity trial of corn in 1925 at the Arkansas Experimental Station.

Field width = 66ft * 2 = 132 feet.

Field length = 219 rows * 44 inches / 12 inches/ft = 803 ft.

Note: In the source document, table 2, first 'west' column and second-to-last row (page 822), the value 1.40 is assumed to be a typographical error and was changed to 14.0 for this data.
