      1/ THIS TABLE CONTAINS NO STATISTICAL VALUES (LSD VALUES), THEREFORE
         IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO DETERMINE THE GENERAL PERFORMANCE OF A 
         OR VARIETIES ACROSS SEVERAL LOCATIONS OR REGIONS.  TO ASSESS
         STATISTICAL DIFFERENCES AMONG VARIETIES, REFER TO THE MEANS AND
         LSD VALUES FOUND IN TABLE 1.
     
      2/ RANKING OF MEAN QUALITY IS ACHIEVED BY ASSIGNING "1" TO THE HIGHEST
         MEAN, "2" TO THE SECOND HIGHEST MEAN, ETC. FOR EACH LOCATION.  IF
         MEANS ARE TIED, THE MEAN OF THE RANKS THEY ARE TIED FOR IS USED.
         FOR EXAMPLE, IF TWO MEANS ARE TIED FOR HTE SECOND AND THIRD RANK,
         BOTH ARE ASSIGNED "2.5".
