DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. until recent years it has been the principal spring wheat grown in the so-called " Inland ; Distribution.—Grown as Bluestem in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. The distribu- tion is shown in Figure 21. Synonyms.—Australian, Bluestem, Chile, Palouse Bluestem, White Australian, White Bluestem, White Chile, White Elliott, and White Lammas. As indicated above, Australian, Bluestem, White Australian, and White Lammas are old names for the variety in Australia and the United States. Palouse Bluestem and White Bluestem are names which more recently came into use for this variety to distinguish it from other bluestem wheats in the United States. Chile and White Chile are names which came into use for the variety because cargoes of this wheat were received from time to time from Chile and in part were used for seed. White Elliott is a local name used for this wheat in Douglas County, Wash. MEXICAN BLUESTEM. Description.—Mexican Bluestem is a variety similar to Pacific Bluestem, except that it is slightly shorter and earlier and has bronze rather than white to yellowish glumes. The glumes, however, never be- come dark enough to be classed as brown. History.—Seed of this variety was ob- tained by the Washington Agricultural Ex- periment Station from Mexico. It was grown at the Western Washington Experi- ment Station, Puyallup, Wash., where it proved to be the best yielding spring wheat in a 6-year experiment and was distributed for commercial growing in the vicinity of that station. As it differed slightly from Pacific Bluestem and was a better yielder, a distinct name seemed necessary, and Mexican Bluestem' was used to indicate its origin and its similarity to Pacific Bluestem.
