RESULTS AT ABERDEEN, IDAHO. 
The Marquis variety has been grown under irrigation at Aberdeen 
during a 3-year period, 1913 to 1915, inclusive. The annual and 
average yields are shown in Table XXVIII. The average yield of 
the best variety in eaoh group is shown graphically in figure 10. 
Among the six varieties tested, the Marquis ranks fifth, outyielding 
only the Haynes. The yield of the Little Club is practically the 
same as that of the Marquis. The three varieties in the White 
Australian group, however, outyield the Marquis by 9, 14, and 31 
per cent, respectively. The Defiance is commonly grown under irri- 
gation in the Western States, while the Palouse Bluestem is the stand- 
ard variety of spring wheat on the dry-land farms.

RESULTS NEAR FALLON, NEV 
The varietal experiments with wheat on the Carson-Truckee 
Reclamation Project are conducted in cooperation with the Office 
of Western Irrigation Agriculture. In 1914 the experiments were 
conducted on the farm of L. W. Langford, and in 1915 on the farm
