Karun.—Karun (C. I. No. 2200-1) is a rather dwarf and early- maturing spring wheat, with beardless spikes (fig. 9, C), white, gla- brous glumes, and midsized, hard, amber-colored kernels. In yield it has ranked second among all the varieties of spring wheat grown at the Moro substation during the 3-year period, 1913 to 1915, in- clusive. It has exceeded the Pacific Bluestem in that period by almost 5 bushels per acre. Karun resembles the Bluestem in its beardless, glabrous spikes, but differs particularly in its shorter straw and hard, amber-colored kernels. The original seed of Karun was.

The variety is not grown commercially, but only on the experimental plats. Koola.—Koola (C. I. No. 2203-2) is a selection from alow-growing early variety of spring wheat, introduced into the United States from Arabia by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1902. It is a bearded variety (fig. 10, C), with white, glabrous glumes, and large, red, soft kernels. It has been tested on experiment farms for several years, but has never been distributed to growers. The Koola variety has given the highest average acre yield of all the spring wheats grown at the Eastern Oregon Dry-Farming Substation during the 3-year period, 1913 to f915, inclusive. During that time it has outyielded the Pacific Bluestem by bushels per acre. It also. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page im
