In Table VII is shown a wide variation in the yields of the varieties 
at the different places. The Nephi wheats yielded less in 1908 than 
they did in 1907. The Kansas wheats yielded much more at Nephi 
in 1908 than they did at McPherson in either 1907 or 1908, while 
the California wheats yielded much less than they did at Modesto 
in 1908, though more than in 1907. Some of the varieties which 
yielded well in Kansas in 1907 yielded much less at Nephi in 1908, 
and in other cases the reverse was true. It is interesting to note 
that the average yield of the Kansas wheats grown at Nephi in 1908 
was approximately the same as that of the Nephi wheats. 
Results in 1909.—In addition to those varieties which were grown 
at Nephi in 1908, three new varieties were sown in the fall of that 
year. These were Rieti (C. I. No. 2942, S. P. I. No. 17994), from 
Italy; Turkey, from near Salina, Kans.; and Turkey, from Montana. 
In addition to these, the two following varieties, which had been 
erown in 1907 but not in 1908, were sown, namely, Odessa (C. I. No. 
3274), a soft, amber-grained, brown-chaffed variety; and Lofthouse 
(C. I. No. 8275), a soft, white-grained, white-chaffed variety. Thus 
the 1909 varietal test included 63. varieties, grown in tenth-acre 
plats. 
- The yields in 1909 were generally much lower than those of 1908. 
It is believed that this was due to winterkilling, which wil be dis- 
cussed later. The stand on many of the plats was thin, and as a
