Hybrid 143 is distinct in having very short kernels. Spikes, glumes, and kernels of this variety are shown in Plate XLIX, B. History.—This wheat was originated at the Washington Agricultural Ex- periment Station, Pullman, Wash., from a cross between White Track and Little Club, made by Prof. W. J. Spillman in 1899. It was first distributed in 1907 by the Washington station and has been grown both from fall or spring sowing. Distribution.—Hybrid 143 was reported in 1919 from seven counties in eastern Washington. It was reported grown most extensively in Columbia County, where it made up 15 per cent of the total wheat of the county. (Fig. 72.) Synonyms.—Shot Club, White Hybrid. The name Shot Club is sometimes used for Hybrid 143 by men in the grain trade because of its peculiar short, roundish, shotlike kernels.
