Minnesota No. 169 "Wheat was first sent out by the Minnesota Experiment Station in 1902, ten years after being- started from a single seed of Blue Stem "Wheat. During that time it was carefully grown and watched, and the greatly increased yield at all times over the parent va- riety encouraged the growers to foster the crop until a sufficient quantity should be secured to make an extensive and thorough trial of It in all sections of the state. These trials pro- duced marvelous results, the average yield of it being 18 per cent, more than any other sort on the same soil. Its milling and baking qualities have been thoroughly tested and found equal to the best of the older and well-known sorts generally grown in the large wheat producing' sections.
