272 DRY-FARMING 
An extremely interesting and important experi- 
ment, showing the effect of locality upon the com- 
position of wheat kernels, is reported by LeClere and 
Leavitt. Wheat grown in 1905 in Kansas was 
planted in 1906 in Kansas, California, and Texas. In 
1907 samples of the seeds grown at these three points 
were planted side by side at each of the three states. 
All the crops from the three localities were analyzed 
separately each year. Some of the results of this 
experiment are shown in the following table: —
