VARIETY TEST OF POTATOES, SULPHUR SPRING 

 VALLEY DRY-EARM 



1 — Failed to mature. 2 — Killed by drought. 



SMALL GRAINS 



Wheat: Four plots of Marqtiis and three of Turkey Red wheat 

 were planted November 12, 1913. They made a very poor growth 

 during- the winter and were eaten down by rabbits until late spring. 

 Late in February four plots of New Zealand wheat were also 

 planted. In May the plots were irrigated, one plot of each variety 

 being left, as a check, without irrigation. Table LXXXIII indi- 

 cates the advantage gained from irrigation. 



In the fall of 1914 fourteen varieties and in the spring of 1915 

 seven additional varieties of wheat were planted in rows eighteen 

 inches apart. A good stand was obtained from all plots. Three 

 cultivations were given. Varieties that were in the milk or dough 

 stage were considerably damaged by green soldier bugs about the 

 middle of June, all of the grain of Red Russian, Bluestem, and Ore- 

 gon Club wheat being destroyed. Best results were obtained from 

 Marquis, Early Baart, and Winter Club. See Table FXXXIII. 

 The advantage of fall planting is shown.
