strains of White Odessa, nine selections from Turkey, and the Bidit, 
Florence, and Banner Berkeley varieties are highly resistant to 
bunt. 
The immune strains of Russar and Martin are of great promise for 
the development of bunt-resistant wheats by hybridization, although 
they are, in themselves, of little commercial value. 
Limited yield experiments with Kidit, a hybrid between Turkey 
and Florence, indicate a possibility of its becoming a valuable com- 
mercial variety. 
The resistant selections of Turkey, including one recently named 
Sherman, can safely be sown without seed treatment. These selec- 
tions appear to be practically equal to the original Turkey in yield.
