KANSAS FARMERS TO GROW
A STANDARDIZED TYPE OF
NEWLY DEVELOPED WHEAT

A purely Kansas wheat, better
than any wheat the state has ever
seen, has just been developed by the
Kansas Agricultural college and will
be introduced to the Kansas farmers
during the next wheat growing sea-
son. The wheat has been developed
during the past five years into a Is
per cent better producer than the
highest types of hard wheat now
grown in the state. The college has
several hundred acres of the wheat
growing in different parts of the
state this winter and every bushel
will be sold as seed to the farmers
of the state next summer.
The wheat just now is known as
P-762 on the records of the expert.

G. 7. Call, head of the agronomy de.
partment, who has had charge of the
actual development of the wheat, il
looking for new name. He has
asked Kansas farmers to propose
one. It is asserted that within five
years this wheat will be as standard
as Hard Red Turkey wheat, Northern
Soft wheat, or some of the other fam
Gus varieties of this cereal.

With high prices on grain certain
for several years to come and with
Montana's reputation for big yields
per acre established throughout the
country, everything points to an in
rush of land seekers during the next
few months. In many sections the
rush is already on and oldtimers say
they have never seen the like of it,
This all means that thousands of
acres of wheat and other grains are
going to be grown during the next
few years by men who have had no
experience in the agricultural prac-
tice of Montana. To such men Bull
letin 40, "Dry Farm Grain Tests in
Montana" published recently by the
Montana agricultural experiment sta
tion should be of special interest.
This bulletin gives the results of
eight years of experimental grain
tana's greatest wheat district and a
summary of the results obtained
should be of interest to all grain
growers. The main points brought
out in the bulletin are as follows:
Winter Wheat.
Kharkov, which has been leading
variety at the Judith substation, is a
superior variety of the Crimean
group. It stands drought and win
ter killing better than other varieties
and has the highest average yield of
all the other varieties tried out, aver
aging 35.7 bushels per acre for eight
years. The Kharkov wheat has been
distributed among the farmers in the
Judith Basin and in other parts of
the state, who report that they con-
slider Kharkov better than similar
varieties and many claim that this
variety will yield five to ten bushels

MONTANA IN NEED
OF FARM EXPERTS
STATE MUST TRAIN THEM, SAYS
PROF. ABBEY OF THE STATE
EXTENSION DEPARTMENT
Time Not Far Distant When Every
County Will Demand a County
Agent; Only Two Agents Are Mon
tana Men; Trained Natives Are Not
Available.

A problem in education that is be-
ing overlooked in Montana at the
present time is the training of men
for high school positions in agricul-
ture and for county agent work, ac-
cording to Professor M. J. Abbey OF
the state college extension depart.
ment.
"Few states," says Professor
Abbey, "are more seriously handi-
capped for trained agricultural lead
ers than Montana. The time is not
far distant when every county in the
state will be demanding county
agent. At the present time but two
of our agents are Montana men. This
is because no other trained Montana
men could be found.
Schools Teaching Agriculture.
1.-THE past year number of high
schools have established departments
of agriculture and have been com
PEELED to go to neighboring states for
men who had specialized in agricul-
tural education. No argument need
be advanced to prove that this meth
cd of solving the agricultural prob
lem is not effective. Usually these
men are looking Tor experience, and
as soon as they have this experience
to their credit they return to their
home states where their services are
always in demand. In practically
every state the demand for high
school teachers of agriculture and
for county agents far exceeds the
supply.
Train Men in State.
"The only effective solution for
the educational as we'll as the agri.
cultural problem is to train state
men in state institutions for home
positions. For such men, familiar
with local conditions, it will not be
necessary to experiment several
months before they find themselves;
they will settle down to their work

more per acre than the common
strain of Turkey which they have
been growing.
When to Seed Winter Wheat.
Date of seeding tests have been
carried on for six years. On the av-
erage the best results have been OBJ
tanned from plots sown between Aug
ust IL and September 20. It may
happen, however, that in some years
there is not enough moisture In the
soil during August and September
to germinate the wheat and under
such conditions late seeding is likely
to give better results. In ordinary
years wheat seeded after September
20 is more likely to winter kill than
when seeded earlier.
How Much Seed to Use.
Rates of seeding tests with winter
wheat have been conducted for six
years, the rate of seeding ranging
from two to eight pecks per acre.
There was very little difference in
the yields produced from the three
and four peck rates of seeding, the
rates from which the highest yields
were obtained. Because of the free
tilling of winter wheat it is not
necessary to seed heavily to get a
good stand. Seeding more than four
pecks to the acre not only reduces
the yield but the quality of the grain
Three pecks per acre is the rate OF
seeding recommended.
Spring Wheats.
Spring wheat does best when sown
at the rate of four pecks to the acre
The date of seeding is governed by
climatic conditions, the best results
being obtained when the wheat is
seeded as soon as soil and weather
conditions in the spring will permit
Twenty fine varieties were tried
out and the highest yields were oh.
tanned from the durum wheats. OF
these Pelissier has been the best pro.
ducer. Marquis was grown only
three years but during that time was
among the highest producers and
considering its excellent milling quail.
tiles 1t is recommended as one of |he
best varieties to grow.
A comparison of the leading varie.
ties of winter and spring wheats
shows that on average years the win.
ter wheat yields about eight bushels
more per acre and during dry years
will produce three or four times as
much as the spring wheats.
Results With Other Grains.
The highest average yield of oats
was obtained from the Sixty Day
This variety averaged about 16 bush
els per acre more than later maturing
varieties. The rate of seeding for
early varieties is four pecks per acre
White Smyra barley. two-rowed
hulled variety, has given the highest
average yield. The hulled varieties
of barley should be seeded at the rate
of five pecks per acre and the naked
varieties at the rate of four pecks
per acre.
In pounds per acre the average
yield of White Smyra barley is great
er than that of the best variety of
any other cereal crop. Kharkov wheat
is second, and Sixty Day oats is third.
In value per acre, based on the
farm price on December / of each
year, Kharkov winter wheat is first
with White Smyra barley second.
