_ Ber Ban is a name used for Fultz wheat in Campbell County, Tenn. Blue | 
stem and Bluestem Fultz are names often used by farmers for Fultz wheat || 
in the Ohio Valley, where the variety is extensively grown. Hconomy is 7 
the name under which a sample i 
of wheat similar to Fultz was ob- | 
tained in 1912 from the Cornell | 
Univers'ty Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station. A variety was | 
grown under this name by the Ohio 
Agricultural Experiment Station | 
as early as 1900. Its further his- | 
tory is undetermined. It is grown | 
under this name in Kentucky, Ohio, | 
and Virginia. New Economy is ; 
grown in Tennessee and may have 
the same or a different origin. 
-Everitt’s High Grade and High | 
Grade are names first used for | 
Fultz by. J. A. Ever:tt in 1886, | 
while a seedsman at Watertown, | 
. Pa. When distributed, the state 
Fic. 31.—Outline map of a portion of the ment was made that it was a cross | 
United States, showing the distribution of of “ Martin’s Amber on a number | 
Fultz wheat in 1919. Estimated area, 4,- of other varieties.2 This statement |

attracted considerable comment at © 
the time (20, p. 706), and as the crossing was begun only four years previous | 
to distribution it was shown that the statement was absurd and that the wheat — 
distributed was principally the Fultz variety mixed with several other wheats. 
The firm, however, continued to advertise and sell the wheat, but it was later 
advertised as “ Everitt’s High Grade, or Perpetuated Fultz.” High Grade and 
Hveritt’s High Grade were reported grown in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mary- 
jand, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. 
Grains o’Gold also was in part Fultz wheat distributed by J. A. Everitt from 
his O. K. Seed Store, Indianapolis, Ind. It apparently was a mixture of Fultz, 
Gipsy, and several other varieties. It was reported grown in Kentucky, Mis- 
souri, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Halver and Roosevelt are names | 
used for a wheat very similar to Fultz in Pike and Gibson Counties, Ind., where | 
it has been grown for six years in the vicinity of Stendal. One sample differed 
from Fultz in having a Jaxer and thicker spike which nodded. Hickman is 
the name of a variety similar to Fultz, the origin of which is undetermined. © 
It was grown by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station for the first time 
in 1892. It possibly is a strain of Fultz wheat named for Prof. J. Fremont 
Hickman, former agronomist at the Chio station, after his death. It is grown
