EXPERIMENTS WITH MARQUIS WHEAT. 
27 
Varietal experiments with Marquis wheat have been conducted on 
nonirrigated land at five experiment stations west of the Rocky 
Mountains. These stations include Nephi, Utah, Aberdeen, Idaho, 
and Burns, Oreg., where the experiments have included the Marquis 
variety during two years; Moro, Oreg., where the experiments have 
continued during three years; and Davis, Cal., where the variety 
has been grown but a single year. The locations of these stations

Fig. 7. — Diagram showing the average yields of the Marquis and the leading variety in each of several 
different groups of wheat at five dry-land stations west of the Rocky Mountains during one, two, or three 
of the years 1913 to 1915, inclusive. 
and the average yield of the Marquis and also of the leading variety 
in each of several groups of wheat are shown in figure 7. The same 
data and those on still other varieties will be found in Tables XXI 
to XXV, inclusive. In figures 8 and 9 are shown heads and kernels 
of varieties representing the White Australian, Baart, and Little Club 
groups of soft white wheat, all of which are commercially important 
wheats in this section.
