yield by about three bushels per acre; are more uni- 
'form in maturity, resistant to most stem rusts, leaf 
rusts, smuts, Helminthosporium and lodging. These are, 
good reliable varieties but are susceptible to races 45, 
57 and similar races of crown rust. 
CHEROKEE 
Is a (D69xBond) cross the same as Clinton. Has red- 
dish yellow (ivory) grain. Is early. Has about the same 
resistance to disease as the other Bond crosses. Is 
somewhat lower in yield. Cherokee is moderately resis- 
tant to races 45, 57 and similar races of crown rust. 
MISSOURI 0-205 
This is a Columbia x (Victoria x Richland) cross. 
Kernels are striped; matures two to four days later 
than 0-200; has strong straw; kernels are thin hulled, 
have high test weight and gives excellent yields. It is 
‘tolerant to mildew, resistant to most races of leaf and 
stem rust. It is the answer to races 45 and 57; is re- 
sistant to blight. 
JAMES HULLESS 
(4018-135 C 1 5015) 
Is a cross of (Bond x Double cross Bond, C. I. 3650) 
x Nakota. The original cross was made by Dr. Murphy 
of Ames and the unselected F3 generation was turned 
over to the South Dakota station. It is a mid-early, 
stiff strawed, hulless oat. It is susceptible to race 45 of 
leaf rust, but has good resistance to the others. It is 
susceptible to races 3 and 7 of stem rust, and has good 
resistance to the others. It is smut resistant. The shat- 
tering is slight but this oat is satisfactory in this re- 
SPRING WHEATS 
MIDA (BREAD) 
Is a bearded, early maturing variety having medium 
stiff straw. Is moderately resistant to stem rust and 
bunt, susceptible to loose smut and moderately suscep- 
tible to scab. Has high test weight per bushel and ap- 
pears equal to Thatcher in milling and baking quality, 
except that it has given lower loaf volume and has a 
shorter fermenting and mixing period. Susceptible to 
leaf rust. 
RUSHMORE 
The high quality, disease resistant wheat from the 
South Dakota Experimental Station at Brookings, S. D. 
Has stiff straw and is an excellent yielder of high grade 
milling wheat.
