40 CEREAL RUSTS OF THE UNITED STATES. 



Some of the liardy prolific sorts not yet well known in this country, 

 but likely to be more or less rust resistant after thorough acclimation 

 and selection, are — 



Winter wheats : 



Prolifero. Winter Gliirka. 



Banatka. Budapest. 



Red Winter. Crimean. 



Nashi. Yx. 



Tangarotto. Belleviie Talavera. 

 Bearded Winter. 



Spring Avheats: 



Alsace. Spring Ghirka. 



Two varieties which are quite susceptible to rust, but which usually 

 ripen early enough to escape the worst effects of it, are — 



Early May. Zimmerman. 



Some others not quite so well known, but probably worthy of trial 

 as rust-escaping sorts, are — 



Early Baart. Japanese No. 2. 



Allora Spring. Yemide. 



Kathia. Canning Downs. 

 Rosewortliy. 



These last varieties, however, are not likely to withstand very severe 

 winters, and are therefore best adapted to southern districts, where 

 they may perhaps in time become acclimated. Yemide and Kathia are 

 probably the most hardy of the six. As already stated, Canning 

 Downs winterkilled in one trial even in Mississippi. 



The following durum and poulard wheats adapted to hot districts 

 and under most conditions extremely resistant to the orange leaf rust, 

 are suggested as being well worthy of trial as macaroni wheats in the 

 Southern States. 



Aruautka. Petanielle Noire de Nice. 



Taganrog. Gallauds Hybrid. 



Beloturka. Cherniiska. 



Nicaragua. Cretan. 



Medeali. Missogen. 



Two varieties of the emmer and monococcuni groups from Germany 

 that are recommended for further trial as stock leed are — 



Einkorn. Black Velvet Couipouiid Eiiimer. 



These are very resistant to rust, Einkorn remaining absolutely proof 

 against the orange leaf rust during two years when it was very severe. 

 Damage.— In previous publications (16 and 17, p. 497) the writer 

 expressed his opinion that after all the orange leaf rust, as a rule, 

 does very little, if any, damage to wheat, even during periods when it 

 is quite abundant. Although further investigations have confirmed 

 this belief, he is now inclined to think that occasionally, under certain
