average yield of the Marquis exceeds that of the Kubanka by about 
15 per cent, and that of the best Preston by more than IS per cent. 
It much excels the Bluestem varieties and nearly doubles the yield of 
the Glyndon Fife. 
RESULTS AT ST. PAUL, MINN. 
The experiments recorded in Table VI were conducted independ- 
ently by the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, and the 
results are presented here through the courtesy of the director and 
other officers. 
Table VI shows that in the two years when data on winter wheat 
are available, the Turkey variety outyielded all the leading varieties of 
spring wheat. In the 3-year average yield, the Marquis slightly out-' 
yields all other varieties of spring wheat. The quantities by which it 
exceeds the Preston and Glyndon. however, are too small to be 
significant, amounting to ,2.5 and 4 per cent, respectively. The 
advantage of the Marquis over the Haynes and Kubanka is about 15 
per cent in each case. The 2-year average yield of the Turkey is 
about 35 per cent higher than that of the Marquis. 
In correspondence. Profs. Andrew Boss and A. C. Amy state that 
these varieties were grown on small duplicated plats. 3 by 132 feet. 
with cultivated 2-foot alleys on either side. The yields, therefore, are 
higher than those ob tamed on larger plats and in fields, but are com- 
parable one with another.
