CLASSIFICATION OF AMERICAN WHEAT VARIETIES. 149 in experiments by the Agronomy Department of the Kansas station, and several of them, including Kanred, were grown in field plats. In 1916 it was discovered to be rust resistant. During these years of preliminary testing of the Kanred wheat it was known by the number P-762. In 1917 it was named Kanred (a contraction of Kansas Red). About 4,000 acres were seeded to this variety in the fall of 1917, more than 50,000 acres in the fall of 1918, and not less than 500,000 acres in the fall of 1919. Distribution.—Kanred was reported in 1919 from 23 counties in Kansas, 1 county in Michigan, and 5 counties in Oklahoma. (Fig. 58.) Probably 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 acres were sown to Kanred in the fall of 1920. It is grown also at experiment stations in most sections of the United States. Synonyms.—P-762, P-1066, and P-1068. P-762, as shown above, was the designation under which Kanred wheat was known from the date of its selec- tion, in 1906, until the time when it was named. P-1066 and P-1068 are two other pure-line selections developed at the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station in much the same way as was Kanred. Both these strains have the rust resistance of Kanred and are identical in all mor- phological characters, but neither has been distributed for commercial growing. BELOGLINA. Description.—This variety is nearly identical with Kanred, except that it is slightly later and does not have the resistance of that variety to stem and leaf rust. Pl°" J^^^S^rtp History.—Beloglina was introduced from Russia by trai United States, the United States Department of Agriculture. Four showing the distri- introductions have been made. The first lot was ob- button of Kanred tained by M. A. Carleton in 1900 from Rostov on Don, mated^a^a'9' 97500 Russia (197, S. P. I. No. 6012), where it was claimed acres, to have been one of the most hardy red winter wheats known.
