According to a circular just issued by
the state agricultural school, the new va
riety Of seed wheat developed at the state
farm known as Minnesota No. 1913, is good
for one-tenth increase in the crop under
average conditions in the state. About
100000 bushels Of this wheat, which was
started from single stem ten years ago,
was raised in Minnesota last year. The
tests show that it averaged one bushel
and a half more per acre than any other
variety when grown under the same con-
ditions. The average yield per acre Of
this wheat grown at the state farm has
been 29.2 bushels for the past six years.
