EXPERIMENTS WITH EMMER, SPELT, AND EINKORN. 
RESULTS IN THE SOUTH ATLANTIC AREA. 
17 
The eastern or humid area comprises the States east of the Missis- 
sippi Valley and south of the St. Lawrence Valley. In this area 
rainfall usually is ample for maximum yields of small grains and soil 
fertility is the chief limiting factor. Winter wheat is the leading 
small grain in this area. 
From Virginia southward winter varieties of barley and oats are 
grown, but north of Virginia spring barley and oats are grown.

areas and the location of the 52 agricultural experiment stations where the results with emmer, spelt, 
and einkorn reported herein were obtained. 
Only a few experiments with emmer and spelt have been conducted 
in the eastern or humid area of the United States. Preliminary 
trials with these crops at several experiment stations during one or 
two seasons usually were not promising, and the experiments were 
discontinued. Emmer and spelt have produced rather poor yields 
in the North Atlantic States. In other Eastern States, however, 
spelt has given good results. Results obtained at three stations in 
the eastern or humid area are shown. 
RESULTS AT ATHENS, GA. 
Two varieties of winter emmer and one variety of winter spelt 
were grown at Athens, Ga., during the five years from 1915 to 1919,
