Turkeys and Kanred Wheat-The Lat-
ter Yields More Because of Rust
Resistance, EarIiness and Hardness.
Crimean wheat selected at the Kan
sas agricultural experiment station ten
years ago. from which source it is es-
timated that 100000 acres were har-
vested in 1921.
"Kanred Wheat" is the title of De-
partment Circular 1914, just issued by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Kanred is a hard red win
ter wheat very similar to Turkey. II
is bearded and has hairless white chaff.
The superior yields of the Kanred va
riety in northern and northwestern
Kansas, eastern Colorado. southwest
ern Wyoming, and in Nebraska and
South Dakota appear to have been due
largely to its resistance to rust and
to winter killing.
Kanred wheat may be grown with
success wherever other hard-winter
wheats are grown and should partly
replace the Turkey and KharkOf va
rieties now widely grown. 1t shows
no special advantage in the northern
great plains and the Pacific north
west. 1t cannot compete with the soft
winter wheat varieties grown on the
lower lands and the richer soils of
eastern Kansas or the eastern United
States, and is not winter hardy
enough to replace spring wheat in
northern plains. Wherever Turkey or
Kharkof hard-winter wheats are
grown, however, the Kanred can be
grown with equal chances of success.
In milling and baking experiments
Kanred has compared favOrably with
other hard red winter wheats. For
growing pure seed is neg
essary, and because of similarity of
the seed to other varieties certifica-
tion has been found essential. This
is made by the Kansas
Crop Improvement association witA
the cooperation of the Kansas agri'
cultural experiment station.
