17 



The prairie section (fig. 8) includes the stations in Wisconsin, 

 Minnesota, Iowa, eastern Kansas and Nebraska, and extreme eastern

Fig. 8. — Diagram showing the location of nine stations in the Prairie States and the average yield of the 

 leading variety of durum and the leading variety of each of several different groups of common wheat at 

 each station during the periods of years indicated: 1, Average of only four years (Preston at Fargo); 

 2, average of only three years (Crimean at St. Paul and Crimean and Preston at Ashland); 3, average of 

 only ten years (Crimean at Brookings); 4, average of only two years (Fife, Bluestem, and Preston at 

 Manhattan). 



stations, their altitude, normal or average annual rainfall for a period 

 of years, and the general soil type on which they are located have 

 already been given in Table II. 



Experiments with durum wheat have been conducted at some 

 other stations adjacent to the subhumid section on the east and
