It has not been entirely clear from reports received just which variety- 
was grown. 
FULTZO-MEDITERRANEAN 
Fultzo-Mediterranean was reported from 17 States in 1919 and 
from 16 States in 1924. The distribution in these two years is shown 
in Figures 65 and 66. The largest acreages of this variety are reported

Fig. 66.— Distribution of Fultzo-Mediterraneai 
wheat in 1924. Estimated area, 86, 878 acres 
from Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio. The total acreage in 1919 
was 305,900, while in 1924 it was 86,878. The percentage of the total 
wheat acreage occupied by this variety declined in this period from 
0.42 to 0.17. Of the States reporting Fultzo-Mediterranean in the 
two years, increases in the acreage occurred only in North Carolina 
and Virginia, although an increase in relative importance occurred 
also in Ohio. The Fultzo-Mediterranean wheat perhaps has the 
stiff est straw of any soft red winter wheat grown in this country, and 
it is frequently recommended for growing on rich land. 
GIPSY 
The Gipsy variety decreased in acreage, but was of about the same 
relative importance in 1924 as it was five years previously. The
