It is seen from the results here presented that this wheat has 

 never ranked better than sixth in yield, and was then 5.9 bushels 

 under the best variety tested. It has always ranked among the bet- 

 ter half, but only once among the best fourth of the varieties tested. 



The 30 varieties and strains with which the Stoner (Miracle) 

 wheat has been compared during the entire four years it has been 

 grown, 1911 to 1914, inclusive, in the plat tests at Arlington Farm 

 and the yields of these are shown in Table VI. Varieties that have 

 not been grown in these comparative tests for the entire four years 

 are omitted from the table. The varieties are arranged in the table 

 according to average jdeld for the four years. It is here shown that 

 this wheat has ranked tenth in the 31 kinds in average yield for 

 this period, and has jdelded 6.55 bushels less than the best variety.

TESTS AT NEPHI, XTTAH. 



Stoner (Miracle) wheat was tested at Nephi, Utah, in 1911, by the 

 United States Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the 

 Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, in one-twentieth acre plats, 

 in comparison with several other varieties. The results are shown 

 in Table VII. In this test of seven varieties, this wheat ranked 

 sixth in yield, producing 26.7 bushels, or 11.4 bushels less than the 

 b6st yielding variety.
