The distribution of Ful- 
caster wheat in 1919 and 
in 1924 is shown in Fig- 
ures 32 and 33. In 1924 
Fulcaster was the leading 
variety of soft red winter 
wheat, occupying 17.3 per 
cent of the total acreage 
of this class, and ranking 
fourth of all varieties re- 
ported. Fulcaster ranked 
third in acreage of the soft red winter wheats and fifth (not considering 
durum wheats) of all varieties in 1919. Although the total acreage of 
Fulcaster decreased from 2,576,000 acres in 1919 to 1,816,534 acres in 
1924, the percentage of the total wheat acreage occupied by this variety 
increased from 3.53 per cent to 3.57 per cent during this period. In- 
creases in the acreage of Fulcaster occurred in Delaware, Indiana, Mary- 
land, Michigan, Nebraska, and 
South Carolina, but decreases 
in acreage occurred in other 
States growing the variety in 
both years. The relative impor- 
tance of Fulcaster, as indicated 
by the percentage of the acre- 
age of this variety in the State, 
increased in several other States, 
especially in Arkansas, Ken- 
tucky, and Virginia.

wheats, occupying 1,786,971 
acres, or 3.51 per cent of the 
total wheat acreage and rank- 
ing fifth of all varieties reported (not considering durum wheats). In 
1919 it was the leading variety in its class and the third in rank of 
all varieties reported. Decreases in acreage of Fultz were reported
