WHEAT BREEDING At ARO0STOok
FARM REQUEST FOR SAMPLES

Orono, Me-, April 1.-According to
the last United States census report
(1sl0) there were about $500 acres of
whe44- grown in the State Of Maine In
1874 81 this amount nearly 30 per
ns4ki grown IN Aroostook county and
thgaAjoFity Of the remainder is grown
jlsthes northern part Of Penobecot
county where climatic and soil condi-
tons are practically identical with
those in Aroostook. From this report
it is further noted that the acreage
devoted to wheat within the State de-
creased nearly one-haH between 1889
and 1903. Ono Of the chief reasons for
this decrease is the relatively. low
gluten content Of Maine grown wheats
as compared with those grown in the
Northwest.
The &luten content determines large
ly theTbaking qualities Of the -four.
The more desirable wheats are those
classedfR s hard" These give Hour
with a7high gluten content. Such q
"strong% flour makes q larger, finer
grained and better loaf than the
weaker 1lours from so-cailcd soft
wheat.
In 1903 the Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station published (Bulletin
No. 50 the results Of some expert
ments with wheat in Aroostook coun-
ty. It was there shown that when
: hard wheats from the Northwest
carrying high per cent OF gluten,
were introduced into Maine they
speedily changed their characters SO
that at the end of a single season
these wheats had become relatively
much richer in starch. According to
our present knowledge it seems that
the chief cause Of this increase in
starch is the longer growing season
in Aroostook. The short, hot sum-
mers of the Northwest tend tc ripen
the wheat from q month to six weeks
earlier than the cool. moist summers
OF Aroostook. With this longer grow
ing or ripening period larger amount

Of the starch is transferred from the
plant to the berry. Thus a given
variety tends to yield more bushels
per acre in Maine than in the North
west, but the increase Is in the amount
Of starch. This low ratio between the
gluten and the starch content gives a
wheat which will not make a first
cl1os flour for baking purposes.
If wheat could be obtained that
would maintain Its hard" qualities
under Aroostook conditions there
seems to be no reason why wheat
should not become a very important
crop in that portion OF the State. AS
pointed out by the Experiment Sta
ton in 1909. there is little hope of OBJ
tanning such a variety by the introduce
ton Of new seed from other parts of
the country. What We need is va
riety Of wheat bred especially for
Aroostook conditions.
The Maine Experiment Station has
long desired to undertake this work
but funds and opportunity have been
lacking. The act Just passed by the
legislature, relative to the mainte-
nance Of Aroostook Farm, makes funds
available for undertaking wheat
breeding along with other work.
The most promising method OF
starting this breeding work is with
varieties Of wheat already grown in
Aroostook. For this reason the Elk
pertinent Station desires to obtain as
large a number Of samples of Aroos-
took wheat as possible. We should
like to have about one-half bushel of
each variety so that they can be grown
in small plots on Aroostook Farm next
year. Anyone having what they con-
slider a good variety Of wheat will aid
this work very much by writing to
the Experiment Station at Orono or
by sending the samply of wheat di-
rect to Aroostook Farm at Pressure
Isle.
