An awnless white- kerneled strain and an awned red-kerneled strain had been developed from it as early as 1882. The awnless white-kerneled strain was known as Smooth Treadwell and the awned red-kerneled strain as Bearded Treadwell (81, p. 27). The original wheat is thought to have been . mostly of the type described above. Disti'ibution.—Reported in 1919 from Oak- land and Tuscola Counties, Mich.
