New York. Red Rock and Goens, varieties of the Mediterranean 
type, are important varieties in some States. 
TRUMBULL 
Trumbull is a selection of Fultz developed at the Ohio Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station. It was grown principally in Ohio in 1924, 
as shown in Figure 40, where it 
was the most important variety. 
A small acreage also is reported 
from neighboring States, particu- 
larly Indiana. The total acreage 
of Trumbull increased from 1,900 
acres in 1919 to 593,427 in 1924, 
the largest increase that was made 
by any soft red winter wheat, in 
which class it now ranks fifth in 
importance. It is displacing Fultz 
in Ohio on account of its higher

The distribution of Leap wheat in 1919 and in 1924 is shown in 
Figures 41 and 42. Although the total area of Leap decreased from 
523,100 acres to 511,774* acres in this period, the percentage of the 
total area occupied by the variety increased 0.29 per cent. Consider- 
able increases in acreage and in percentage of the total State acreage

Estimated area, 511,774 acres 
occurred in Pennsylvania (where it was the second variety in impor- 
tance in 1924) and in Delaware, New Jersey, and Maryland. De- 
creases occurred in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and 
Indiana. Leap has a rather stiff straw and a large head, which 
doubtless contribute much to its popularity. 
RED WAVE 
The acreage of Red Wave decreased from 1,115,700 acres in 1919 
to 435,198 acres in 1924. The distribution in these two years is shown 
The largest acreages of this variety are in
