For years it was the leading wheat in the Palouse district and continues to be a leading wheat grown along the foothills of the Blue Mountains in Oregon. In this section it often is fall sown, as it usually will stand the winters, though not as well as true winter varieties. It is now less extensively grown than formerly because of the introduction of more suit- able varieties. Distribution.âLittle Club is grown in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada. Oregon, Utah, and Washington. (Fig. 70.) Synonym.âSmall Club. BIG CLUB. Description.âPlant spring habit, midseason, mid- tall to tall; stem white, curved, strong, stout; spike awnless, elliptical to clavate, dense, erect; glumes glabrous, white, midlong, midwide; shoulders mid- wide, usually rounded; beaks wide, obtuse, mm. long; apical awns few, 2 to 5 mm. long; kernels white, short, soft, nearly oval; humped; germ small; crease narrow, shallow; cheeks usually angular ; brush small, midlong. Big Club differs from Little Club in having wider, shorter, and thicker spikes, in having curved peduncles, and wider and rounder kernels. The shape of the spike is very sim- ilar to that of Hybrid 128. Spikes, glumes, and kernels of Big Club wheat are shown in Plate L, B. HistoryâBig Club wheat is reported to have been introduced into Oregon about 1870 from Chile (10). The variety was first known as Chile Club and Oregon Club. It was evidently first grown in Cali- fornia, for in 1866 Chile Club was reported to be " remarkably well adapted to. the soil and climate" of that State .(&$,
