EXPERIMENTS WITH MACARONI WHEAT. 



These wheats, being weak in the straw, were badly lodged. There was no rust 

 and the yields were larger; yet, as there is, here, no market for them they are not 

 recommended. If grown for feed there would be serious danger of mixing the seed. 

 A few grains of these Durum wheats will reduce the grade of Red Fife. 



Each plot was one-twentieth of an acre and the seed was sown April 24 on light 

 clay loam, summer fallowed.
