CEREAL EXPERIMENTS ON THE CHEYENNE EXPERIMENT FARM, all 
The yields of the leading varieties of each group are shown graphically 
in figure 8. 
MISCELLANEOUS MINNESOTA VARIETIES. 
Eleven lots of Fife, Bluestem, and Preston wheats were obtained 
from the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station late in the 
spring of 1913. They were sown in fiftieth-acre plats on breaking. 
The stands were good, except that of McKendry (C. I. No. 4147). 
These wheats were shattered about 15 per cent by hail on August 16. 
All were late in maturing and the yields were low. 
In 1914 these wheats were sown on fallow land in plats of varying 
size. Good stands were obtained. Yields were better in 1914 than 
in 1913. 
In 1915 the wheats were sown in single twentieth-acre plats on 
double-disked corn ground. The stands obtained were good. While

the varieties were damaged by rust, the yields obtained were fairly 
good, as is shown in Table XII, but the quality was poor. The 
average yields of these wheats in the three years, 1913 to 1915, 
inclusive, are much lower than those obtained from most of the 
varieties in the regular varietal test (Table X). 
LEADING VARIETIES. 
The leading durum wheats have yielded from 2 to 3 bushels per 
acre more than the leading common wheats. Yields from the lead- 
ing varieties of the Preston, Fife, and miscellaneous groups have 
been practically the same. The Bluestem varieties have been con- 
sistently the lowest in yield.
