84 THE SMALL GRAINS 



1. Varieties now grown or adapted : 

 Algerian Galgalos 



Bobs Palouse Bluestem 



California Club Seven-headed 



Chul Sonora 



Early Baart Australian White 



2. Needs of the district : 



Increase of gluten content Early maturity 



Non-shattering 



73. Geographic groups of wheat. Our knowledge of 

 wheat distribution in other countries is limited, and be- 

 sides a full discussion of that subject here is not desirable. 

 It will be of use, however, to mention the nativity of groups 

 of wheats having particular qualities. This will, in 

 certain instances, show the sources of varieties which might 

 supply the needs stated under the description of each 

 wheat district, and at the same time give some idea of geo- 

 graphic distribution. Some of the most important of 

 such groupings that may be made are here given. 



74. Glutinous and starchy wheats. (1) White, soft 

 starchy kernels are found in the wheats of the Pacific 

 and Western Intermountain districts of North America, 

 examples Little Club,. Gold Coin, and Australian White ; 

 in the club wheats of Chile ; in the white wheats of Aus- 

 tralia, as Talavera and Purple Straw ; in the white Pissi 

 wheats, Ghoni Safed, Karnal Mundhi, and similar sorts 

 of India, and in some Turkestan varieties. (2) Amber 

 or reddish kernels also starchy occur in the wheats of 

 eastern United States, such as Fultz, Early Red Clawson, 

 and Jones Winter Fife ; in western and northern Europe, 

 in Lammas, Golden Drop, Hallett Pedigree, Bordeaux, 

 and others ; in Australia and Japan, and in the red Pissi 

 wheats, Rawalpindi, Sirsa, and others of India. (3) Glu- 

 tinous qualities in the common wheat group are to be
