RESULTS AT LIND, WASH. 
Emnier and spelt were grown at the Adams branch experiment 
station, Lind, Wash, in 1918 and 1919. The experiments were 
conducted cooperatively by the Office of Cereal Investigations and 
the Washington Agricultural Experiment Station. The yields of 
all grains shown in Table 49 are very low on account of drought. 
Both Black Winter and Vernal (White Spring) emmer produced poor 
yields. Red Winter spelt outyielded oats and produced about the 
same yield as barley. Wheat is the most productive grain crop at Lind, 
and in 1918 and 1919 it produced a higher average yield than spelt.

RESULTS AT AGASSIZ. BRITISH COLUMBIA. 
Experiments with emmer and spelt under humid conditions were 
conducted at Agassiz, British Columbia, in the five years from 1901 
to 1905 by the Dominion Department of Agriculture. The yields 
as presented in the reports of the Dominion cerealist (39 and 4-1) 
are shown in Table 50. Vernal emmer yielded more than any of the 
other varieties of emmer or of spelt, but was markedly exceeded by 
Mansury (Manchuria) barley and somewhat outyielded by Lincoln oats.
