Youden and Beale's Data on Lesions of Half-Leaves of Tobacco Plant

Description

A simple and innovative design is often priceless. Youden and Beale (1934) sought to find the effect of two preparations of virus on tobacco plants. One half of a tobacco leaf was rubbed with cheesecloth soaked in one preparation of the virus extract and the second half was rubbed with the other virus extract. This experiment was replicated on just eight leaves, and the number of lesions on each half leaf was recorded.
