WHEAT 319 



the soft or semi-hard red winter type. In north central 

 Texas and central Oklahoma there is a transition zone in 

 which varieties of either the hard red winter wheat, belong- 

 ing to the Turkey or Crimean type, or the soft or semi-hard 

 wheats may be grown. However, the latter type of wheat is 

 more commonly grown in this region and gives, on the av- 

 erage, more satisfactory returns than the Turkey wheats. 

 A list, containing the names of varieties for the cotton- 

 belt that have been found to do well on the average for 

 several seasons is given below. The varieties named are 

 grouped by states, the recommendations being based 

 largely on results obtained by the various southern ex- 

 periment stations and also by the Bureau of Plant Indus- 

 try of the United States Department of Agriculture:
