received attention. Table V gives the yields obtained from these 

 wheats on the Salt River Vallev Farm for 1918. 



The varieties represented in this table are those which have 

 been selected for several years for either yield, or quality of grain, 

 or both. It is seen from Table V that the highest yielder in the lot 

 is Arizona 39, selection 5 (39A-5) producing at the rate of 45.7 

 bushels per acre. This is approximately 10 bushels more per acre 

 than was produced by a plot of Early Baart grown in the same 

 field under similar conditions. Section No. 9 of Arizona 39 (39A-9) 

 also produced nearly 5 bushels more per acre than the plot of Early 

 Baart. Baking tests have also been made of Arizona 39, but it is 

 inferior to Early Baart in flour strength, as will be seen from an in- 

 spection of Table VI. Table VI. gives the results of the latest 

 baking test with the varieties of wheat listed in Table V.
