in all States where the variety was grown except New Jersey. There 
were small increases, however, in the percentage of the total acreage 
occupied by this variety in 
several States, the most 
important being Indiana 
and North Carolina. The 
decrease in Fultz acreage 
is more apparent than real, 
for increases have occur- 
red in the acreage of sev- 
eral selections of this vari- 
ety, notably Trumbull and 
Fulhio. If these are in- 
cluded with Fultz, it is 
the leading variety of soft 
red winter wheat and the 
fourth in rank of all vari- 
eties reported. 
POOLE 
The distribution of 
Poole in 1919 and 1924 is 
shown in Figures 36 and 
37. The total acreage of this variety was 1,050,023 in 1924, which 
was 2.06 per cent of the total wheat acreage for that year. This was 
a decrease of 1.31 per cent from the 2,453,400 acres grown in 1919. 
The principal States in which Poole was grown in 1924 were Ohio, 
Indiana, Missouri, and Illinois, as was the case also in 1919. Poole
