RESULTS AT WILLISTON, N. DAK. 
The experiments at Williston, N. Dak., have been conducted 
cooperatively by the Office of Cereal Investigations and the North 
Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station. Most of the yields of 
emmer, barley, and oats given in Table 35 were published in 1916 
by Babcock {2). The average acre yield of Vernal emmer during 
the 9-year period from 1909 to 1917 was 1,834 pounds. Manchuria 
barley produced 2,121 pounds and Abundance oats 2,430 pounds per 
acre during the same period. The yield of emmer thus is distinctly 
less than that of the other two crops. White Spring spelt was grown 
in four years and gave an average yield slightly higher than that of 
Vernal emmer.

RESULTS AT EDGELEY, N. DAK. 
Two varieties of emmer were grown at the Edgeley, N. Dak., 
substation from 1904 to 1908. The experiments were conducted 
cooperatively by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station 
and the Office of Cereal Investigations. The yields, which have been 
published by Thompson (63), are shown in Table 36. The two lots 
of Vernal emmer, although apparently identical, produced consider-
