REGISTER new
VARIETY WHEAT
DEPARTMENT OF AGRTCULTURE
ANNOUNCES ADAGTTTANCE OF
THREE BRANDS
(aONrANA STATE COLLRGEl

Three new varieties of wheat were
admitted to registration in 1935-Com-
ct, Hymar and Clarkan, extension Off
Gals at Montana State college have
been advised by the department OF
agriculture. Registration is under a Co
operative agreement between the bu-
reau OF plant industry and the United
States department Of agriculture and
the American society of agronomy
There were 265 varieties In the first
registration nine years ago. Fifty-one
new and improved varieties have been
admitted since.
Comet was developed In cooperative
experiments of the division of cereal
crops and diseases and the Montana
agricultural experiment station from a
cross between Marquis and Hard Fed
Grafton made in 1921. Comet is a hard
red spring variety. It's superior char
acters are drouth resistance, early
maturity, and high yield. Comet is be-
ing used with excellent results as q
parent in further hybrid combinations
and growers are advised that it has not
been distributed for commercial grow
ing.
Hymar is the result Of cooperative
experiments of the Washington agri-
cultural experiment station at Pullman
and the division of cereal crops and
diseases Of the department of agri-
culture. IT is winter-habit, high Yield
ing, soft, white kerneled club wheat,
similar to Albit in appearance and Is
expected to replace Albit In the Pal
0tlse section of Washington. About
1000 bushels of seed were distributed
for commercial growing in the fan of
1895. HyKmar skaters less than Albit
and has q heavier test weight per
bushel and a higher average yield. 1t
Is similar TO Albit in smut resistance
Earle @. Clark of Sedgwick, Kan,
developed Clarkan from q natural
Blackhull- wheat cross In 1916.
The soft red winter wheat parent prob
ably was Harvest Queen. Clarkan was
developed from single kernel planted
In 1890. The variety was tested by the
Kansas agricultural experiment sta
ton and was first distributed BY MIR.
Clark In 1884 after it was recommended
by the Kansas station and crop Inn

vest Queen. The advantages of CIarkan

He is modern in his methods, cour-
teous in his treatment of customers,
and has the reputation of fair deal
ing, essential to the success of any
firm. 1t is safe to say the business
will be conducted in the same approx
ed manner as heretofore and that Mr..
Landlord will undoubtedly retain his
old customers and win many new.
