ably different yields. The strain C. I. No. 3701, which yielded best, 
was obtained in North Dakota. A variety of einkorn grown for three 
years yielded considerably less than the other crops. Manchuria 
barley produced a higher average yield than emmer, but Swedish 
Select oats yielded less than emmer at Edgeley in the years grown.

RESULTS AT LANGDON, N. DAK. 
Vernal emmer was grown at the Langdon, N. Dak., substation of 
the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station from 1910 to 1912, 
inclusive. The yields, as reported by Stewart (59) in the reports of 
the Langdon substation, are shown in Table 37. Vernal emmer 
yielded more than Mansury (Manchuria) barley, but less than White 
Russian oats. In feeding value per acre the three crops are about 
equal. There would seem to be no advantage, therefore, in growing 
emmer except as it affords greater crop diversification.

RESULTS AT BRANDON, MANITOBA. 
Experiments with emmer were begun in 1900 by the Dominion 
Department of Agriculture on the Brandon Experimental Farm. The 
data, which have been taken from the annual reports of the Domin- 
ion cerealist (39 and 4-1), are shown in Table 38. 
Two varieties of emmer and four varieties of spelt were grown dur- 
ing various periods. Of these the Vernal (White Spring) or common
