New Winter Wheat Varieties Dodge
Smut Damage, Lodging, Winterkill
PULLMAN, Wash.,
Washington State collide h... .
leased two new winler wheat var
ieties designed to escape smut
damage, lodging and winterkill.
Both are high-yielding wheats,
the college said. Both have pass
ed milling and baking tests. Both
are adapted to growing condi -tions
in Washington, Idaho and
Oregon.
Dr. Mark T. Buchanan, head
'of agricultural research at W. S.
C. said the new short -strawed soft
white winter wheats have been
named Elmar and Brcvor.
Elmar wheat particularly will
be useful in the northwest'i antl
smut campaign, Buchanan said.
It is resistant to dwarf smut,
which has been particularly bad
in the area for the last two sea
sons, and to about half of the
other known races of smut.
Brevor has moderate to high
resistance to all the known
smuts.
Elmar is a white club wheat
and Brevor is a common white.
Both new varieties outyield pre
sent varieties 10 to 15 per cent.

Diverted Acres, Seeded To Legumes
Or Grass, Offer Additional Income
Your diverted acres may be
an asset or a liability depending
on their use. J. K. Bonehtake.
chairman of the agricultural Con
servation committee tells farm
ers of Douglas county.
He explained that with surplus
es accumulating in a number of
major farm crops, farmers are
faced with the problem of adjust
ing production to consumer needs
and market demands. As a
means of orderly adjustment , al
lotments have been provided. An
allotment is the individual farm
er's share of the national mar
ket. But If the land taken out of
wheat or corn or other crops for
which there may be allotments
is left idle and unprotected again

servation gains of the past are
reduced and an opportunity to
build for the future is lost.
Also, if the poorer land Is left
out of production and additional
attention in the form of better
care and greater use of fertiliz

Metal shavings so thin that they
