Used principally in the manufacture of maca- roni and other paste foods. Adapted espe- cially to dry climates. Durum is the principal wheat of this group. Introduced into the United States by the Department of Agricul- ture and now grown ex- tensively in the Great Plains region. Bread wheat group. — Common and club wheat. Grains free when threshed. Common wheat, the kind most extensively grown, is used principally for making flour. Figures 45 and 46 show common wheats. Club wheat has a short compact head and is espe- cially well adapted to conditions in the Pacific Coast region, where it is grown extensively. Like common wheat, it is used for making flour. The bread wheats are grouped commercially according to color, hardness, and time of growth, as soft wheat, soft red, medium red, hard winter, and hard spring Fig. 46. — Heads of bearded winter wheat. 1, Mediterranean; 2, Virginia; 3, winter fife ; 4, early Genesee Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Sampson, Harry Oscar, 1879-.
