RESULTS AT EDGELEY, X. DAK. 
The experiments at Edgeley are conducted independently by the 
North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, and the results 
shown in Table XV have been made available through the courtesy 
of the director and other officers of that station. The experiments 
have included the Marquis during three years, 1913 to 1915, inclusive. 
The results are given in Table XV, and the yield of the leading 
variety in each group appears in figure 6. 
Winter wheats are not grown at Edgeley. Durum varieties con- 
siderably outyield either the Fife or Bluestem groups of spring com- 
mon wheat. The Marquis wheat excels all other varieties in the 
Fife and Bluestem groups. It out-yields the Power, the next best 
Fife variety, by over 5 per cent and the Haynes by nearly 10 per cent.
