EXPEEI^IENTS WITH DURUM OE MACARONI WHEAT. 



Four varieties of Durum, wheat were grown in uniform test-plots of one-fortieth 

 acre each. The land was similar in character to, and received the same treatment as, 

 the spring wheat plots, and was sown May 20. 



Following were the yields obtained: —

EXPERIMENTS WITH EMMER AND SPELT. 



Two varieties each of Emmer and Spelt were sown May 20, in plots of one- 

 fortieth acre each. The land was similar to that on which the other spring wheats 

 were sown, and received the same treatment. 



The yield from these plots is given in pounds, as, with the ordinary threshing, 

 the chaff is not separated from the kernels and the result cannot well be compared 

 with the other sorts of wheat which are threshed clean.
