SPRING WHEAT OK THE NORTHERN GREAT PLAINS.

of the yields of Marquis. Galgalos has yielded well in the western 
portion of the Great Plains area, outyielding Marquis at Havre, 
Mont., Archer, Wyo., and Akron, Colo., but it is a white wheat. 
Pioneer has outyi elded Marquis at Willis ton, N. Dak., Sheridan, 
Wyo., and Akron, Colo. The yields of Prelude have been relatively 
low at all stations except North Platte, Nebr., and Akron, Colo., 
where owing to the early maturity of this variety it has been able to 
evade summer drought in some seasons. Kitchener and Puby in a 
limited number of experiments show promise of being superior to 
Marquis in yield. 
Table XIV. — Average yields of 34 varieties and strains of spring wheat grown at 11 
experiment stations in the northern half of the Great Plains area during three or more 
station years in the 7-year period from 1913 to 1919, inclusive, expressed in percentages 
of the yield of the Marquis variety at the same stations in the same years. 
Yield per acre compared to Marquis (per cent).
