to the eastern United States, but the variety itself is only of average 
value. It is not adapted to dry lands. 
The claims made by the originator of Stoner (Miracle) wheat 
and by those who have exploited it are not substantiated by the ex- 
perimental results reported above. 
It was claimed that it would outyield any other variety anywhere. 
In the tests it has never outyielded anywhere all other varieties with 
which compared, and many other varieties have surpassed it in 
yield. 
It was claimed that it tillered more freely than other varieties. 
The tests show that other commonly grown varieties have exceeded it 
in number of culms to the plant produced wherever grown in com- 
parative tests. 
It was claimed that 20 or 30 pounds of seed per acre were suffi- 
cient for maximum yields. The tests show that better yields are ob- 
tained from it when sown at higher rates to the acre.
