The ratio of the number of W+ 1 jet to W+ 0 jet events is measured with the D0 detector using data from, the 1992--93 Tevatron Collider run. For the W[yields] e[nu] channel with a minimum jet E[sub T] cutoff of 25 GeV, the experimental ratio is 0.065[+-] 0.003(stat)[+-] 0.007(sys). Next-to-Leading order QCD predictions for various parton distributions agree well with each other and are all over one standard deviation below the measurement. Varying the strong coupling constant[alpha][sub s] in both the parton distributions and the partonic cross sections simultaneously does not remove this discrepancy.
