RESULTS AT NEWELL, S. DAK. 
Emmer and spelt have been grown on both dry and irrigated land 
on the Belle Fourche Experiment Farm at Newell, S. Dak. The 
experiments were conducted by the Office of Cereal Investigations 
in cooperation with the Office of Western Irrigation Agriculture, 
Bureau of Plant Industry, and since 1912 with the South Dakota 
Agricultural Experiment Station. The yields have been reported 
in part by Salmon (37) and Martin (30) and are presented in Table 32.

oats grown on dry land at Newell, S. Dak., in all or part of the 12 years from 1908 to 
1919, inclusive, and of the same number of varieties of these crops grown on irrigated 
land during the eight years from 1912 to 1919, inclusive.
