148 BULLETIN 1074, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
History—Ilowa No. 1946 is a more recent and apparently superior selection 
developed at the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station. It is a pure line 
from a mixed strain of wheat known as Iowa No. 1661, which was supposed 
to have been selected from Banat. The latter was introduced from Russia, but 
was originally from the Banat district in Hungary. 
Distribution.—Grown to a small extent in Iowa in 1921. 
MONTANA NO. 36. 
Description.—This variety can not be distinguished from Turkey, but has 
proved superior to it in winter hardiness and yield in experiments and com- 
mercal trials in Montana. 
History—tIt is a pure-line selection of Kharkof qeecnen at the Montana 
Agricultural Experiment Station, Bozeman, Mont., and distributed by them since 
the fall of 1915 as a winter-hardy, high-yielding strain. 
Distribution. Grown in Montana. 
NEBRASKA NO. 60. 
Description.—Nebraska No. 60 is practically identical with Turkey in all taxo- 
nomic characters. 
History—tThis is a high-yielding pureline selection of Turkey wheat devel- 
oped at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station. It was distributed for 
commercial growing and for testing at experiment Stations in other States in 
the fall of 1918. Another selection, Nebraska No, 6, was eases at the 
same time. 
Distribution.—Grown in Nebraska. 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREE NO. 2. 
Description.—This variety is identical with Turkey. 
History.—Wisconsin Pedigree No. 2 is a pure-line selection of Turkey wheat 
developed by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station and distributed 
by them as a high-yielding strain since the fall of 1918. 
Distribution Grown in Wisconsin. 
KANRED, 
Description.—Plant winter habit, midseason, midtali; stem white, weak; 
spike awned, fusiform, middense, inclined; glumes glabrous, white, midlong, 
midwide; shoulders narrow, oblique to elevated; beaks 3 to 25 mm. long; awns 
3 to 10 cm. long; kernels dark red, midlong, hard, ovate, to elliptical; germ 
smail; crease narrow to midwide, middeep; cheeks rounded; brush small, 
midlong. 
Kanred is very similar to Turkey, but is slightly more winter hardy and 
slightly earlier and can be distinguished from that variety by its longer beaks 
on the outer glumes and by its resistance to some forms of both leaf and stem 
rust. This resistance to rust is an important factor in the ability of the variety 
to outyield Turkey wheat in many sections. It is also about equal to Turkey in 
milling and bread-making value. A spike, glumes, and kernels of Kanred are 
shown in Plate XL, B. 
History.—Kanred is the product of a single head selected in 1906 from the 
Crimean variety (C. I. No. 1485), which had been introduced into the United 
States from Russia by the United States Department of Agriculture. The 
Selection from which it descended was one of 554 head selections made in 1906 
py Dr. H. F. Roberts, of the Botany Department of the Kansas Agricultural 
Eixperiment Station (162). In 1911 the more promising strains were included
