  and 
  originated 
  at 
  the 
  Bezenshook 
  Agricultural 
  Experiment 
  Station. 
  This 
  

   variety 
  is 
  proving 
  extremely 
  hardy, 
  having 
  survived 
  snowless 
  winters, 
  when 
  

   other 
  winter 
  wheats 
  were 
  either 
  killed 
  out 
  entirely 
  or 
  severely 
  injured. 
  It 
  is 
  

   expected 
  that 
  within 
  a 
  few 
  years 
  this 
  wheat 
  will 
  play 
  a 
  big 
  role 
  in 
  the
