RESULTS AT DICKENSON, N. DAK. 
Marquis wheat has been grown at the Dickinson substation during 
three years, 1913 to 1915, inclusive. The annual and average 
yields obtained from this and other varieties are shown in Table 
XVIII. The average yield of the leading variety in each group is 
shown graphically in figure 6. 
The results obtained are nearly the same as those at Williston. 
The durum wheats lead by a wide margin. The Marquis is the 
highest yielding variety of common wheat, and the Kubanka Xo. 8 
excels it by nearly 35 per cent. The groups of common wheat rank 
in the same order as at Williston, namely, Fife, Bluestem, Preston, 
and Crimean (winter). The Marquis outyields the Rysting, the 
next best Fife variety, by 1.7 bushels, or 6 per cent, and the Preston 
by 2.7 bushels, or 11 per cent, while it exceeds the Crossbred Blue- 
stem by 3.4 bushels, or 14 per cent. The winter wheats are not 
successfully grown in Xorth Dakota.
