38619. "(No. 140S4.) Potchefstroom White wheat. This re- 

 sembles the beardless Wit Wolkoren, but tbe glumes are 

 smooth and shiny. A few specimens can generally be found 

 in any field of wheat, but I have seen only one pure stand, 

 and that was on tbe farm of Mr. Dirk Nolte, Groot Marico. 

 Three seasons ago Mr. Nolte picked out a few ears from 

 among his other wheats and sowed them apart from the 

 others, harvesting the seed by itself. Last season he sowed 

 from the progeny about a bag of seed, and now has 30 to 40 

 bags, which will enable him to test its comparative yield and 

 milling qualities. This variety is sometimes known as Kaal- 

 kop, but this name applies equally to other sorts." (Trans-
