534 EXPERIMENT STATION RECORD. [Vol.40 



the results being presented In tabular form, Illustrated graphically. and fully 

 discussed. The experiments embraced a comparison of bare-fallow cultivation 

 with the growing of leguminous crops for forage and for green manure and 

 with various applications of commercial fertilizers both with and without the 

 legumes. In every case the different treatments gave Increased yields over 

 bare fallow. 



Tests of foreign varieties of winter wheat, 1914—1916, EL Lim>hawi> 

 (Tidsskr. Flanteail, 25 (1918), -Vo. 2. pp. 240-255). — A comparison was made at 

 Tystofte and Abed from 1914 to 1916 of the varieties Small Tystofte 2, Queen 

 Wilhelmina 2, Victor, Cropwell, lied King, Early Red, and Iduna. In addition 

 two varieties, Little Joss and Burgoyne Fife, were tested at Tystofte only. The 

 experiment included the growth of two crops. The yields of grain and straw of 

 the different varieties, together with the protein content of the prain, are piven 

 in tables, and a brief description of each variety is presented. 



In average yield of grain at Tystofte and Abed, Small Tystofte ranked first 

 with 4,420 i<l:. per hectare (65.56 i>u. per acre) being followed by Qneen Wil- 

 helmina ii. Victor, and Oropwell with 4320, L2S0, and 4,110 kg of grain per 

 hectare, respectively. Of the two varieties grown only at Tystofte, Little J< 

 yielded 4,520 kg. of grain per hectare, while Burgoyne Fife, considered as a 

 hardy spring variety rather than a winter wheat, yielded I'.-V.h ku.. this yield 

 being the lowest of all the Varieties under test. 



There was little injury from rust during the experiments, Red Kin:: being 

 the only variety Buffering perceptibly. The highest average yield of straw. 

 T.TOn kg. per hectare (6,906 lhs. per acre)) was secured from Oropwell with 

 small Tystofte ranking next Little .io<s Bed KiiiL'. and Iduns also gave per- 

 ceptibly higher yields of straw. Burgoyne Fife stood ia>-t In straw yield and 

 was found to be the only variety in these experiments showing clearly a 

 tt adencj to lodge.

experiments carried on In two localities from 1912 to 1917 showed that Sol 

 wheat l. as compared with Bore, iduna. Squarehead, and Thule wheal i in 



most instances led in yield. Results secured at SvalBf indicated that Sot
