The 1920 spring wheat was completely destroyed by wheat rust so no direct 

 comparison could be made. 



Fig. No. 10. Red Rock wheat on summer fallow ground planted August 29th, 1919. Winter wheat 

 seeded between August 13th, to 29th gave the better yield and quahty of grain. 



RYE. 



A test was put in to establish which was the better yielder Rosen, common 

 winter, or common spring rye. The Rosen has proven to be superior in 

 yield and quality. The work in the future will be confined to maintaining 

 the purity and aiding in the distribution of this variety. 



A plat was sown in an isolated section of the Station to the choicest head 

 selected Rosen rye which could be secured. This plat was harvested to 

 furnish seed for further increase of an ample supply of pure Rosen for dis- 

 tribution in the Upper Peninsula. 



WINTER BARLEY. 



A test plat was soAvn in 1919 to Michigan Winter Barley, about 90% of 

 the plat winterkilled. The variety is not adapted to the Upper Peninsula.
