By DR. E. r. Helm, associate Agronomist
Montana Agriculture Experiment Station

CURIOSITY. AND the Willingness
to try new things are desirable hui
man traits which are essential to
progress. It does, however, seem that
farmers generally are inclined to
over-eagerness in planting varieties
of cereal crops from other areas
which are not recommended by their
own agricultural services.
In the following discussion an at
tempt will be made to explain the
basic reasons for the limited number
of recommended varieties of winter
wheat in Montana.
Individual plants of winter wheat
from different varieties have many
more similarities than dissimilarities.
All winter wheat plants, irrespective
Of. variety, have roots, stems, leaves
and heads and require air, water,
light and plant nutrients for growth.
It is not then logical to expect that
given growing conditions free of spe-
cial diseases such as rust and smut,
that a large number of varieties over
4 period of years would produce
equal yields of grain?
This is exactly the situation in the
Gallatin valley except in the
sucker" smut areas. The yield rank
of varieties varies somewhat from
year to year largely because of the
effect of varying climatic conditions
upon plants in slightly different
stages of growth. To support the
above claim several average yields
from nurseries grown at Bozeman
are reported in Table 1.

On the basis of these yields one
certainly would conclude that the
three recommended varieties, Kar-
mont, Newturk, and Yogo are suffic-
lent for the sucker" smut free areas
Of the Gallatin valley. Except for
Pawnee and Wichita the varieties
listed appear to be equal in yielding
ability.
The primary requirement, from
the farmers standpoint of winter
wheat variety in the plains area Of
Montana is winterhardinesS. This
factor eliminates many varieties
which can be grown in the inter
mountain valleys but unfortunately
there is still large number which
will survive the winters often enough
to naislead the farmer who ignores
the variety recommendations. Long
time average yields reveal that in
this area of winter wheat production
those varieties possessing about
equal winterhardiness viii yield
about the same amount of grain
Tables 2 and are given to support
this statement.
The winter and spring Of 1851 at
Moccasin were excellent for showing
that such varieties as Comanche,
Nebred, Tenmarq, Wasatch, and
Cheyenne do not possess the high
degree of winterhardiness exhibited
by the recommended varieties. The
data in Tables l and certainly sup
port the recommendation of Kar-
mont, Newturk and Yogo for Mon
tana dryland conditions.
You may wei ask, 'But why aren't

the intermountain regions and 9 OF

for the plains region?" The an
swer is that in Montana we are in
terested in growing bread wheat
rather than feed and pastry wheat.
Protein percentage is used as a quick
market determination of the strength
of the flour which can be milled
from certain lot of wheat, but un-
fortunately different varieties of
wheat having the same protein CON
tent can have strikingly different
milling and baking qualities.
Because both milling and baking
have become mass production pro-

cesses, a high degree Of uniformity
in large volumes of wheat and flour
are demanded. It is true that the
maximum flour yield can be miIled
from any wheat if the proper ma
chinery adjustments are made, but
in the huge mills of today constant
readjustments due to small lots of
wheat with different milling char
acteristics are expensive. The same
can be said of flour. Any lot of flour
milled from hard red winter wheat
with proper handling will bake into
a loaf Of bread, but a large bakery

day demands extremely exacting
uniformity in the flour used.
This puts the miller behind the
proverbial eight ball and if at all pos
sible he will buy his wheat from 4
locality growing the fewest number
of varieties. In Table 4 are given
some of the baking and milling char
acteristics of samples of Bozeman
grown wheat with very similar pro-
tein contents.
The baking quality variations ex-
hibited in the above samples from
the Gallatin valley suggest the diff
culties miller might experience in
attempting to produce a large vol
ume of uniform flour from stable
shipment of winter wheat which con-
sisted of various mixtures of several
varieties. It is especially important
that an area which generally pro-
duces low protein wheat, such as the
Gallatin valley, grow very limited
number Of varieties. Actually two
varieties. It is especially important
smut localities and one of the other
recommended varieties would satisfy
the needs of the farmers and assure
the millers of more uniform grain
to process.
In studying Tables 1, 2, and 3 il
will be noticed that from the stand
point Of yield and winterhardiness
the variety, Yogo, would very likely
be a farmers choice of the varieties
listed. However, the miller and
baker in carefully reviewing Table 4
would reject Yogo because Of low
water absorption, short mixing time,
and small loaf volume. Based upon
this quality data the professors
would like to see the farmers grow
ing Comanche and the selection, Tur-
key x Oro-221.
Since Yogo is agronomicaIly an ex-
eellent winter wheat breeding pro-
gram has been started aiming to inn
prove the milling and baking char
acteristics of this variety. In add
ton, crosses are underway to de
velop Yogo type varieties with gooC
milling and baking qualities which
are resistant to sucker" smut and

evils, according to DR.. L. A.
Stearns, Station entomologist.
So far as the grower is concern
ed, the two boreTs are most read
lily identified by the place they are
found on the tree. BOrers found at
soil level or below are almost al
ways the peach tree bOrer. Borers
found in the trunk and branches
will be almost entirely the lesser
peach tree bOrer. The full grown
larva or grub of the lesser borer is
smaller than that of the peach tree
bOrer.
Control of peach bOrers has not
kept pace with the control of other
peach pests" says DR.. Stearns.
"DDT has proved fairly effective
against the peach tree bOrer, but
is not as effective against the less
er peach tree borer. OF new insec-
ticides tested, parathion shows the
greatest promise"
Directions for the control of
peach borers may be obtained upon
request to county agents. Special
control measures for home orchards
are also available.
Prof. Donald MacCreary, of the
Entomology Department. is making
a special study of the emergence
periods of these two borers in
1851. in order that treatments may
be timed to give more satisfactory
results.
