When central and western Kan- sas began to be settled it was found that the soft winter wheats, such as Big May, Little May, Gold Drop, Fultz, and Bluestem, grown in the eastern part of the state, did not withstand so well the more rigorous winters and hot, dry sum- mers of the central and western counties.
