\begin{Description}\relax
The yield of oats from a split-plot field trial using three varieties and
four levels of manurial treatment.  The experiment was laid out in 6 blocks
of 3 main plots, each split into 4 sub-plots.  The varieties were applied
to the main plots and the manurial treatments to the sub-plots.

This data frame contains the following columns:
\describe{
\item[\code{B}] Blocks, levels I, II, III, IV, V and VI.

\item[\code{V}] Varieties, 3 levels.

\item[\code{N}] Nitrogen (manurial) treatment, levels  0.0cwt, 0.2cwt, 0.4cwt and 0.6cwt,
showing the application in cwt/acre.

\item[\code{Y}] Yields in 1/4lbs per sub-plot, each of area 1/80 acre.
