Spring Wheat — Test of Varieties. 



Mac^vroni Wheats. 



Four varieties were sown alongside of the spring wheats in plots of one-fortieth of 

 an acre each. They were sown on April 18, seed being used in the proportion of one 

 and a-half bushels per acre. The injury from the midge in these varieties appears to 

 be as serious as it is to the ordinary milling wheats. There was no rust on any of 

 these plots.
