RUST AND pURUM WHEAT.
What Tests Have Proved as to the
Resistance Power Of Differ
emit Varieties

Durum wheats resist rust very
much more than the common varie-
ties, and this ought TO be a fact
OF considerable importance favorable
TO their use. However this quality
has not been emphasized as much as
II might be. for the reason that
durum varieties are particularly
adapted TO the drier regions where
rust does not often occur. II is now
seen from the results of the crop sea-
son of 1904 that rather severe rust at
tacks are likely even In the driest por-
tons of he grain region. ard that in
about one year out Of ten this quality
Of rust resistance becomes OF the
greatest importance.
At the South Dakota agricultural ex-
pertinent station during 1904 the varie-
ties that resisted the rust so far as to
give the maximum yields mentioned
were all OF the durum group.
A very interesting feature OF the ex-
periments as 70 rust resistance. which
have been carried on by this depart
ment for ten years in cooperation with
state experiment stations Is that the
variety IUmillo. which showed the
most complete resistance the past sea
son. is the same one that has been
more resistant than any other In all
of the experiments for the last three
years or more. During the previous
years the rust was not sufficiently Sc
