Winter spelt produced good yields during each of the three years 
it was grown and exceeded both barley and oats in average yield 
during the 3-year period. Winter spelt, however, can not compete 
with winter wheat, the leading small-grain crop at Manhattan, 
neither is it likely to displace spring oats.

grown at Manhattan, Kans., in the 1-year period from 1903 to 1909, inclusive.

RESULTS AT LA FAYETTE, IND. 
Vernal emmer was grown at La Fayette, Ind., from 1910 to 1915. 
The yields, which were obtained independently by the Purdue Uni- 
versity Agricultural Experiment Station, were published by Wiancko 
and Cromer (66) in Bulletin No. 225 of that station. These yields 
are shown in Table 10. Vernal emmer gave an average acre yield of 
1,053 pounds during the five years. In the same years barley pro- 
duced 1,130 pounds and oats 1,478 pounds per acre. Emmer can 
not be expected to equal oats in productiveness, and it is of only 
minor importance in the Corn Belt section.

RESULTS AT MADISON, WIS. 
Vernal emmer was grown at Madison, Wis., for three years. The 
results were obtained independently by the Wisconsin Agricultural 
Experiment Station and were published by Moore (32) in the annual 
reports of that station. The yields of emmer and of barley and oats 
are shown in Table 11.
