EXPERIMENTS WITH EMMER, SPELT, AND EINKORN. 
41 
enimer produced the highest average yields and was distinctly su- 
perior. Vernal emmer yielded somewhat more grain than Mansury 
barley, but considerably less than Banner oats. It is not regarded 
as being equal to these two latter crops.

RESULTS AT INDIAN HEAD, SASKATCHEWAN. 
Two varieties of emmer and three varieties of spelt were grown at 
Indian Head Agricultural Experimental Farm by the Dominion De- 
partment of Agriculture during varying periods from 1900 to 1907. 
The results, taken from the annual reports of the Dominion cerealist 
(89 and 41), are shown in Table 39. 
Vernal (White Spring or Common) emmer produced the highest 
average yield, followed by Ked spelt. During the entire eight years, 
Vernal emmer produced less than Odessa barley and much less than 
Banner oats. Both barley and oats are far more successful at Indian 
Head than any variety of emmer or spelt.

each of barley and oats grown at Indian Head, Saskatchewan, in the 8-year period from
