Pacific Bluestem. — Pacific Bluestem (C. I. No. 4067) is the stand- 
ard spring wheat on the farms of the Columbia Basin. It usually 
commands a premium of 3 to 4 cents a bushel over other varieties on 
western markets. It is a fairly early spring wheat of medium height,

spring-wheat belt in the northern section of the Great Plains area or 
with the Bluestems of the Atlantic coast. The exact origin of this 
variety is not known, but almost certainly it is an Australian wheat. 
It closely resembles Kymer and Warren, two varieties from New 
South Wales. It is also identical with the White Australian, formerly 
widely grown in California. 
Little Club. — Little Club (C. I. No. 4066) is the standard variety of 
club wheat in the western United States. It is a short, midseason to 
late variety, with very broad, short leaves. The beardless spikes are 
short, but broad and very compact, usually oblong in shape (fig. 9, A) . 
The glumes are white and glabrous; the small kernels, white and soft.
