The above figures are interesting, but need to be ex- 
plained, especially the relation between the two groups. 
The winter varieties are not misleading in their figures. 
Nigger wheat is one of our worthy varieties, and is to be 
recommended. Hungarian White Chaff, Champion Amber, 
Clawson and Michigan Amber are considered meritorious 
varieties by wheat farmers throughout our northern wheat 
country. Of the spring growing varieties, the first four are 
European sorts, the seed of which is firmly enclosed in 
the husk, and consequently not adapted to the use of the 
American farmer. Scotch and Saskatchewan Fife are 
known in the Northwest as standard Spring wheats. It is 
interesting to know that, of the thirty-six spring varieties, 
two of our recognized leading ones tiller greatest. But 
it will be well for growers to note that Scotch Fife and 
Saskatchewan Fife are identical.
