yield between the 3. -i. and 5 peck rates is small. At Brandon. 
Manitoba, higher rates of seeding produced the most favorable re- 
sults, the highest yield being obtained from the 7-peck sowing the 
first year and from the 87J-poiind rate the second year of the trial. 
From these results it appears that Vernal emmer should be sown 
at about 6 pecks per acre in the drier Great Plains area and at a some- 
what higher rate in the subhumid prairie section. In practice, the 
emmer should be sown at about the same rate as oats in a given 
locality.
