Mil lions of acres in the Central West will be planted this year with a super-wheat, which yields from three to five bushels an acre more than varieties now grown. The super-wheat is Kanred. developed through 14 years of careful experimenta tion from a single head brought from Russia. It promises completely to re place varieties now grown In the' hard - heat areas, and to increase materially the grain production of the country, , Approximately half a million acres were seeded with Kanred ; last fall. If the pure seed from this harvest is planted next fall, the acreage will be fx br seven millions, artd after that It in-believed that use of the new variety will become general. The Kansas Crop Improvement association composed, of - 600 farmers, is endeavoring to have all the pure seed -planted. i , . 1 It Is expected a fourth vof the hard wheat acreage in Kansas and large acre; ages in Oklahoma. Texas, Nebraska. " Wyoming. Colorado and. South Pakota '- will1 be sown with Kanred. Kventually Kanred will be grown universally in the hard wheat country, in the opinion of ' specialists at the Kansas experiment sta .' tion .here. . ; Turkey or Kharkof are the two va- rletles of hard wheat most ' commonly grown, and Kanred has demonstrated its superiority to these. It has been suc cessfully grown in every state of the hard wheat 'belt, and is confidently be ' lleved by experts to be better than any . other variety grown as far north as ; South Dakota; Div Morrow to Go East to Meet With .
