Distribution of Goldcoin wheat in 1924. Estimated area, 670,852 acres 
About one-sixth of the white-wheat acreage in the United States 
in 1924 was sown to Baart. This variety is confined almost exclusive- 
ly to semiarid and irrigated sections west of the Rocky Mountains. 
The acreage of Baart in 1924 was slightly less than in 1919, as is

has been replaced by Sonora and club wheats. In California and 
Idaho, Baart largely is replacing Pacific Bluestem. In Oregon, Baart 
is being replaced by Federation and Hard Federation. 
PACIFIC BLUESTEM 
Pacific Bluestem was the leading variety of white wheat in 1919 
(fig. 79), but ranked fourth in importance among the white wheats 
in 1924 (fig. 80). The late maturity of Pacific Bluestem largely has

Federation, which are both earlier and superior to Pacific Bluestem 
in yield and milling and baking qualities. Pacific Bluestem for many
