DAWSON 
The Dawson variety ranks next to Goldcoin in importance among 
the white wheats grown in the Eastern States. Like Goldcoin, it is

a winter wheat. Dawson shows a decrease in acreage and impor- 
tance from 1919 (fig. 85) to 1924 (fig. 86), apparently having failed 
to replace Goldcoin. Most of the decreased acreage of Dawson 
wheat has been in New York, Michigan, and 
Ohio, where it still is grown principally. 
FEDERATION 
The Federation variety was not distributed 
to farmers until 1920, but in 1924 (fig. 87) it 
was reported as being grown on more than 
32,000 acres. Since 1924 the acreage has 
increased rapidly, and probably 400,000 acres 
or more were grown in 1926. In the spring of 
1925 Federation was sown on numerous fields 
in eastern Oregon in which the fall-sown wheat 
had winterkilled. A considerable acreage of 
Federation has since been grown in Oregon from both spring and 
fall sowing.
