Field of Progress Wheat in Jeiferson County, Wisconsin. 
PROGRESS WHEAT (Wisconsin Pedigree No. 1611) 
Progress is hy all odds the best variety of spring wheat for Wisconsin. The outstanding feature about it 
is that it does not rust. It is a bearded, hard red spring wheat, and is one of the highest yielders. It was 
developed at the Marshfield branch Experiment Station in 1915, a selection from Early Java. The specific ob¬ 
ject in view was to get a wheat that would have a strong resistance to rust and this strain is outstanding 
in that respect. Its reputation is now fully established. Get started with Progress this vear.

lots of it. Note the following points:

Third. It is adapted to dry regions. Withstands drouth.
