40 FEVER VARIETIES OF WHEAT

very much greater implication of

in one thing only--depressed yields
In most of the varieties and mixed

No farmer under present price con-

from one to five bushels per aJr4 less
nor can he afford to have even his

lower yielding kinds and take the lnW
price for mixed wheat.
1t is unfortunatclN the point of view
of quite n namhcr of people that most
any kind of wheat is wheat, and that
they are all equally useful for flour
making purposes and that there is not
much advantage in having the wheat
