VAST ACREAGE OF.
SUPER-WHEAT TO
BE PLANTED SOON
(Bf VnitM Sm
Manhattan. Kan.. July 13. 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;
