prepared by the United States Depart

Since the introduction OF the haruy
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 hali,
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
in 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
80 inches Of rainfall. hard red winter
wheats of the Turkey type are grown.
Along the line Of 80 inches rainfall
there is transition zone in which
hard and soft red winter wheats sue
coed about equally we'll.
Better Varieties for Many Farms.
Many farmers are doubtless growing
poorer varieties Of wheat than they
might grow if they knew exactly what
was adapted to their localities and
farms. The United States Department
of Agriculture has just issued Farm
