DISCOVERY or MARQUIS WHEAT 16Y 



Bureau of Crop Estimates at Washington. ^^ These data, 

 reproduced below in their original tabular form, provide 

 us with the estimated percentage which each important 

 variety of wheat contributed to the crop of wheat in Min- 

 nesota and the two Dakotas in each of the years 1914, 1916 

 and 1917, and similar figures for Montana in 1917. For 

 1915, however, the estimates are lacking except for Durum. 

 Velvet Chaff is another name for Preston.
