The lower yield OF the November
speeding can Dee partly accounted FOR by
mot enough plants on the ground and
partly by the lighter grain duo TO pre-.

such that the growth is rank enough on
wheat seeded after the middle oc Sep

WHEAT. CONTINUOUS. WITH AND
WITHOUT MANURE.
I'm this experiment one-half acre
plat is cropped continuously 90 wheat.
and manure is added as thought profit
able while an adidininps half acre piat
is continuously cropped TO wheat with,
out the addition of manure The com
parison has been made three seasons
Manure was applied in 1895 at the rate
of 10 tons per acre and I'm 1880 az the
rate Of II tons.
The following are the yields of grain
rer acre:
Manured Unmanured
lN9o-@ 3O6 l2
isg9-00 . o.. 36.S 1S1
l9g0-0i d. .. 90. .... 3I7 %
The crop OF lg00-0i was seeded septem-
ber 2S with Fultz wheat at the rate OF
11-2 bushels per acre. Up TO the dry
spell I'm April and May the manured
plat made much the better showing
but the heavy growth on this plat suf-
fered more during the dry weather
than the unmanured plat
Up to the present time we have OBJ
tanned an increase Of A. bushels OF
wheat for something Ike 20 tons OF
manure
VARIETIES.
No change was made IN the list OF
wheat varieties that have been grown
on the station farm Tor several years
except the addition Of several import
ed varieties. AS in former years. the
results of this year demonstrated that
there is a lareg list of wheat Of lareg
/ yielding powers under varying condi,
tions. This season the highest yielding
variety was Missouri Blue stem 800
bushels per acre and the lowest yield
was 29 bushels per acre from Oregon
Red
The following varieties gave SO or
more bushels per acre Big Frame, Sib-
ley's New Golden. Thesis, Fultz. Early
Red Clawson. Early Ripe Turkey,
New Red Wonder. The following vari-
eties fell under SO bushels and over
80; Crimean, Red Russian, Zimmerman,
Big English Fulcaster and Peter Bod
IN. one OF the new varieties, Weissen-
burg vas from seed imported from
Hungary by the United States board of
agriculture. II is of special interest as
II Is from this wheat that the flour IS
made that sells for S1O0 more per barrel
on the Liverpool market than any other
flour. 1t did not yield quite as much
as some Of our old varieties but IS quite
a promising wheat due to It's high mill
ing qualities Our list also includes the
Cimean wheat that the papers are say
ing so much about now Both of these
are very similar TO the old Turkey
wheat and any one who has good seed
of that variety has one OF the very best
wheats and will do well to keep IL un-
al he IS sure that he has something bet
ter
