In Table XIII are shown the average dates of heading and maturity, 
weight per bushel, and yields of grain and straw of two strains of 
Kharkof and one of Turkey wheat grown on the Belle Fourehe 
Experiment Farm from 1908 to 1917. inclusive. The yields also are 
shown graphically in figure 6. It is seen that the dates of heading

Fig. 6. — Diagram showing the average yields, in bushels per acre, of the leading varieties 
of winter wheat on dry land at the Belle Fourehe Experiment Farm for the 12-year 
period from 190S to 1919. inclusive. 
and maturity and the height a're the same for all three wheats and 
that the differences in weight per bushel and yield are too small to be 
significant. From the results obtained it is concluded that the bulk 
nnselected varieties. Turkey and Kharkof, are identical in all the 
above characters, including yield. These varieties, however, have 
outyielded all others grown in the plat and nursery experiments.
