wheat and rye production. Even greater increases in production may be required
 by conditions next year and the years following, 1t was stated. With this pos- Eibility in view it is important, it was agreed, that every precaution be taken to maintain good farming methods to keep up the fertility of the soil, agri- cultural organization and the other fac- tors on which good yields depend
 The acreage seeded to rye in the va rious states as well as that seeded to wheat can be increased in accordance with the programme of the department, 1t was brought out in the conferences. Rye, it was agreed, is of great impor- tance in the present emergency because 1t can be grown profitably on lands not well adapted to the production of wheat and because 1t is in good demand for export under the existing conditions Much work has been sone in the last few years in some states to improve the rye crop, 1t developed. This is especial ly true in Michigan, where a new va riety, Rosen rye, has been used and is making rye popular again in the state. Stocks of pedigreed rye have been dis tributed in the state for several years and have given an average increase of six bushels per acre over ordinary rye.
 A similar condition exists in Wisconsin with reference to Petkus and Schlanstedt ryes. In the cotton belt the AbruzzeS rye, which was introduced by the depart ment from Italy few years ago, and in the extreme southern portions of the cotton belt the variety known as South Georgia gre superior to the common enrthern rye. In the onrthern portions of the cotton belt the North Georgia and Virginia rye give good yields of grain.
