NEW VARIETY OF WHEAT
SHOWS BIG YIELD IN STATE

East Lansing-Restorati of Mich
igan to prominence as a wheat-grow-
ing state has become likelihood as a
result of the yields returned by new
variety of wheat which has been de-
veloped by Prof. Frank A. Spragg of
Nj. A. c. and tested out by state farm
ers. The new variety was sent out
among state farmers year ago by
the college and the crop produced
from this has averaged from 30 to 40
bushels to the acre, while the state
average is but 16 to 20 bushels.
This wheat which is yielding so
phenomenally is a variety known as
RED Rock" 1t is a winter wheat
which was developed by Professor
Spragg to withstand Michigan's Sc
we're seasons.
'In the past few years wheat pro-
duction in Michigan has fallen off 80
per cent" declared Dr. Eben Mum
ford, head of the farm management
of NJ. A. c., "but gener-
al adoption of this new variety may
restore our standing. Such a restora-
tion is scarcely to be hoped for with
the present varieties which yield only
II or Is bushels to the acre.
"Our county agents have reported
that farmers who have tested the new
Red Rock wheat have had yields av-
eraging from 80 to 40 bushels to the
acre, while their neighbors grew only
IT or Is bushels to the acre"
Some of the counties from which
these agents reported were st. Clair,
Branch, Kalamazoo, Allegan, New
aygo, Saginaw, Iron and Kent.
