where hard red winter and hard re-
spring wheats have brought fame an
fortune to Montana for many wears
The growing of durum wheat il
Montana is not recommended practice
Under present conditions of price ad
vantage and more acres on which dur
UNI can be planted it will no doubt be
grown in some areas of the state.
The production of durum wheat in
Montana will probably be a temporary
measure. However, even one or two
years production, without proper pre-
cautions, may mean the contamination
OF fields, bins, machinery and elevators
with enough durum seed to seriously
affect the grades of subsequent hard
wheat crops for several years.
The advantages and disadvantages
OF growing durum wheat in Montana APP
pear to be as follows:
Advantages
Advantages
1. Present price, if quality durum
can be produced.
2. More acres on which to plant
wheat.
8. Durum wheats have more resist
ance to sawfly cutting than hard red
wheats, with the exception of Rescue.
Disadvantages
l. Mechanical mixtures of durum
wheat with hard red wheat will result
in lower grades for the hard wheats.
2. Durum wheat produced in Montana
usually lacks the proper color to bring
the top price.
8. Most durum varieties are later in
maturity than hard spring wheat va
rieties, which may be a factor in rust
infection.
A. Available durum varieties are more
susceptible to race 15B of stem rust
than recommended varieties of hard red
spring wheat.
Cultural Practices
/. Seed early to escape rust.
2. Seed at usual rate per acre. If
wheat is light in test weight, cut the
seeding rate per acre.
8. Other practices should be similar
to those used for other spring grains.
Durum Varieties

shattering, resistant to leaf rust, sus-
ceptible to race 15B of stem rust. Salts
