by tlie different parties. At the station in 1901, 12 varieties of macaroni wheat 

 yielded on an average at the rate of 21 bn. 26 lbs. per acre as compared with 10 bu. 

 33 lbs. for 9 varieties of bread wheats. In 1902 the resnlts in yield were also largely 

 in favor of the macaroni wheats, but the conditions this season did not warrant defi- 

 nite conclusions; the bread wheats being later than macaroni wheats were more sub- 

 ject to rust attacks. In several cases the same variety of macaroni wheat gave widely 

 different results on different plats. 



The general conclusions drawn from the results are that mai-uoni wiieats are 

 adapted to South Dakota, produce greater yields than Blue; Stem and l^'ife wheats, 

 and are more drought resistant than bread wheats. The folic iwing vai-ieties have 

 given good results: Pellis.sier, Berdiansk, Kubanka, Arnautka, (iharnovka, Yellow 

 Gharnovka, Taganrog, Argentine, Medeah, Velvet Don, and Blai-k Don.

Cultivation of vegetables, and notes on varieties, G. Coote {Oregon Sta. Bui. 

 74, pp. £0). — Popular directions are given for the culture of onions, peas, string 

 beans, Lima beans, horse or broad beans, vegetable marrows, caulifiower, and broc- 

 coli. Notes on the behavior of varieties of these vegetables when grown at the 

 station are included. Lima-bean seed grown at the station gave stronger and more 

 productive plants than seed of the same variety obtained from an Eastern seed firm. 



Report of the horticultural division, W. F. Massey {North Carolina Sta. Rpt. 

 1902, pp. 18-28). — This is a brief review of experiments with grapes, tomatoes, let- 

 tuce, roses, potatoes, sweet corn, bulbs, and cantaloupes.
