prepared by the United States Depart

Since the Introduction of the hardy
varieties of wheat from southeastern
Europe there has been a decided north
ward movement of the winter-wheat
area. This movement has been rapid
in recent years. The reasons therefor
are the generally large yields OF win
ter wheat due, first, to its earlier ma
turity, thus enabling it to escape hail,
hot winds and disease; second, to its
greater drought resistance; and third,
to the better division of labor, which
it allows through fall seeding and ear
lier harvesting.
The profitable production of wheat
I'm the eastern part of the United
States depends to a considerable ex-
tent on the choice of the best-adapted
varieties. In general, the soft red
winter wheats are grown, although soft.
white winter wheats are popular in the
northeastern United States, especially
in New York and Pennsylvania. In
the extreme western portion of the
eastern area, which is limited on the
west approximately by the line of
20 inches of rainfall. hard red winter
wheats Of the Turkey type are grown.
Along the line of 80 inches rainfall
there is d transition zone in which
hard and soft red winter 'wheats sue
coed about equally well.
Better Varieties for Many Farms.

ers' Bulletin 116S, Varieties of Win
ter Wheat, Adapted to the Eastern
United States, which charts localities
in which various types of wheat can
be grown to advantage, and, lists the
varieties adapted to each particular
locality.
The bulletin suggests that there is a
large local demand in New England
for wheat as poultry or stock feed,
and 1t should not be difficult for sever
al farmers in almost every neighbor-
hood to sell all the wheat they can
raise at good price to their neigh
bors. Winter wheat will doubtless
produce better average yields, where
1t can be- grown, than spring wheat,
if proper cultural methods and SUIT
able varieties are used.
Improve Wheat Yield.
Wheat can be improved in yield and
in other desirable characteristics by
the selection Of good heads or good
plants from the general field and grow
ing the seed from each individual head
or plant in separate rows. Continued
selection will result in constantly inn
proved seed. Another method of puri-
flying variety and increasing the
yield is what may be called mass Sc
lection. This consists simply in pick
ing out good heads from the field at
large, sowing the selected seed in a
small area, and reselecting it the next
harvest time. The bulletin may be
had on application.
