1 Yield estimated. 



The highest average yield for the eight years (1905 to 1912) at 

 Brookings, as shown in Table III, was produced by the Arnautka 

 durum wheat, 20.8 bushels to the acre. This variety exceeded all 

 others in average yield by at least 25 per cent. The Kubanka durum 

 (CI. No. 1440) averaged 16.2 bushels; the Eed Fife, a bearded 

 common wheat, 16.1 bushels; and the Kubanka durum (C. I. No. 

 1541) 16 bushels to the acre. The average yield of four varieties of 

 durum wheat was 17.1 bushels and of six varieties of common wheat 

 13.9 bushels. 



The data from the Highmore substation show that there have been 

 two total failures during the 8-year period (1905 to 1912). Al- 

 though some grain was obtained each season, there was not a sufficient
