Work of 1920. Wheat varieties were grown in 5-row blocks in 

 1919-20. Ninety-six varieties were included in the test, four replica- 

 tions being used. Fultz wheat was grown as a check in every sixth 

 plot. The rows were 18 feet long and were cut to 16 feet in harvest- 

 ing. The direction of the rows was east and west. The planting plan 

 is shown in figure 1. The wheat was sown October 15, at the rate of 

 6 pecks per acre. There was considerable winter injury in the plots 

 and the condition of the wheat in early spring was rather poor. The 

 yields obtained are shown in Table 4.
