It is- doubtful if spelt will be ex- tensively grown in any part of the United States. 93. Emmer. —• Emmer is often confused with, and sometimes goes under the name of, spelt. The two types are, however, quite different. The stem or culm of emmer is quite frequently filled with pith, the leaves are broader, and it is more heavily bearded than spelt. The spikelets of spelt are farther apart on the rachis than those of emmer, those of the latter being quite close to- gether, giving a compact appearance to the spike. Like spelt, the kernels of emmer are retained in the glumes after threshing. Emmer is not used for the making of flour, but is useful as a stock feed. It is grown to some extent in the northern states of the Great Plains of the United States, where it usually goes by the name of spelt. It is more drought-resistant than many of the other grain plants and therefore may develop into a useful plant in the semi-arid regions of this country. In Europe. Fig. 36. Spelt.
