Records show that there are about
Corvallls, Or., June 8. Burbank's su
per wheat, recently brought into gener
al notice by Associated Press dispatches,
Is in reality not considered a new pro
duction but a new and 'unusually sue
eessful variety. Prof. O. R. Hyalop. of
O. A. C. authorizes the following state
ment :
"Associated Press dispatches of re
cent date have Indicated that there
has been a wonderful new wheat known
as Burbank's Super-wheat originated
by. the well known plant breeder of
California. Correspondence with wheat
specialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has indicated that
this is not claimed to be a new pro
ductlon, but that It has been a successful
variety that has out-yielded some other
Varieties under certain conditions in
California. These same government ex
perts have reached the conclusion that the
so-called Su per wheat is tne variety com'
monly grown in Oregon as Jones Winter
Fife.
"This variety - was tried out on the
Oregon Experiment Station at Corval
lls, and it Is not as good a yielder as
White Winter and some others of the
commonly known varieties of the Wil
lamette valley.
"It is also grown to some extent in
Umatilla county, and a few other places
In Oregon and some places in Washing
ton. However, it is not considered a
high yielder in any of the experiment
station trials with wheat in Eastern
Oregon.
"It Is therefore, cheaper to buy Jones
Winter Fife under Oregon conditions,
as such, than to Bend away for it and
get' it under a new name."
