RESULTS AT SNOWFLAKE, ARIZ. 
A yield of 560 pounds per acre of Black Winter emmer was obtained 
at the Snowflake. Ariz., Dry Farm in 1915. Black (Snowflake) oats 
produced an acre yield of 768 pounds in the same season. The 
barley which was sown was destroyed by smut. The yields are 
reported by McOmie and others (29). 
RESULTS AT PASO ROBLES, CALIF. 
In 1893, two varieties of emmer and four varieties of spelt were 
grown in experiments at Paso Robles, Calif. The yields, which were 
published by Shinn {50. p. 396) in the report of the agricultural 
experiment station of the University of California for that year, were 
as follows: Red emmer, 1,475 pounds; White emmer. 2,09S pounds; 
White Silesian spelt, 2,893 pounds; Blue Bearded spelt, 2,036 pounds; 
White Bearded spelt, 2,609 pounds; Bearded Brown spelt, 1,134 
pounds: Dept. Agr. No. 2 barley, 3,970 pounds; and White Wonder 
oats, 2,495 pounds. Two of the varieties of spelt outyielded the 
White Wonder oats, but were decidedly inferior to the barley. Em- 
mer was less productive than the better varieties of spelt. 
RESULTS AT MODESTO, CALIF. 
The results of experiments covering three years with emmer and 
spelt at Modesto, Calif., are shown in Table "43. The experiments 
were conducted by the Office of Cereal Investigations in cooperation 
with the California Agricultural Experiment Station. The average 
yields of all crops were rather low. Bed Winter spelt produced 
more than Black Winter emmer and White Smyrna barley but less 
than Appier oats. The experiments were not conducted for a suffi- 
cient period to be conclusive, and the varieties of barley and oats 
with which they were compared are not the most productive ones in 
California. These and other results do not show emmer and spelt 
to be promising in that State.
