PRODUCTION OF WINTER AND SPRING WHEAT 



Wheat is most largely grown in cool, temperate 

 climates. Its winter growing habit and early 

 maturing season make it especially well suited to 

 the higher and drier sections of the middle and 

 western states. The varieties adapted to fall 

 seeding are grown in the warmer wheat sections, 

 but there are many spring sorts adapted to the 

 colder climates. 



Of the states named, North Dakota, South 

 Dakota, Minnesota and Washington grow prin- 

 cipally spring wheat. The other states grow 

 largely winter wheat. In the United States much 

 more winter wheat than spring wheat is grown. 

 The production of each in 1911 is given in the 

 year book as follows: 



Winter wheat 430,656,000 bushels 



Spring wheat 190,682,000 bushels 



Total 621,338',000 bushels

 This is due to the great increase in population.
