The second plant generation of the Turkey-Sonora cross gave 

 some very interesting results last season. One of the main objects 

 sought in this cross is to produce an early wheat having the gluten 

 quality of the Turkey. In other words, an attempt is being made to 

 place the Turkey wheat grain on the early Sonora plant. Of the 

 4910 second generation plants which were grown, 66 were as early 

 as the Sonora. Of these 66 plants, 12 had grains all as hard as 

 the Turkey parent. These 12 hard-grained plants and other later 

 hard-grained segregates will be used as the foundation stock for 

 establishing an early hard wheat. In these hybrids there seems to 

 be a marked positive correlation between fertility, as indicated by 

 number of grains per spikelet, and earliness. These plants were 

 all grown in rows one foot apart and four inches between plants in 

 the row, so as to provide the same amount of space per plant. Table 

 XX shows this correlation.
