The stands were good, except that of McKendry (C. I. No. 4147). These wheats were shattered about 15 per cent by hail on August 16. All were late in maturing and the yields were low. In 1914 these wheats were sown on fallow land in plats of varymg size. Good stands were obtained. Yields were better in 1914 than in 1913. In 1915 the wheats were sown in single twentieth-acre plats on double-disked corn ground. The stands obtained were good.

Fig. 8.—Diagram showing the average yields of the leading varieties in each group of spring wheat on the Cheyenne Experiment Farm, 1913 to 1915, inclusive. the varieties were damaged by rust, the yields obtained were fairly good, as is shown in Table XII, but the quality was poor. The average yields of these wheats in the three years, 1913 to 1915, inclusive, are much lower than those obtained from most of the varieties in the regular varietal test (Table X). LKADINC; VARIKTIEH. The leading durum wheats have jdelded from 2 to 3 bushels per acre more than tlie leading common wheats. Yields from the lead- ing varieties of tFio Preston, Fife;, and misccUanoous groups liavc been practically the same. The Bluestem varieties have been con- sistently the lowest in 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 United States.
