Michigan Beans Given President ed the wheat aa ‘soft white, weight 62i lbs. per bushel, 1% dockage and no smut.’ I am going to plant my entire summer fallow, 385 acres, with it this fall.’’ Mr. F. G. Strickler, Waitsburg. | Washington, sent in the following report: “I seeded 32 acres of Rex wheat last fall and was very well pleased with the yield. I seeded 30 lbs. to the acre and harvested 44 bushels to the acre. It weighed strong 60 lbs. per bushel and had no smut in it. I am seeding 650 acres ol Rex this fall and my landlord 136 acres. Personally I am strong for Rex wheat.” Mr. Harry Hix of Dufur, Oregon, in giving his experience of two years in growing Rex wheat says: “I am well satisfied with the results obtained in the two years I have grown Rex wiheat. In com- parison with other varieties, I estimate it yielded around five bushels more per acre.’’ •Rex would not likely be adapt ed to conditions in Kansas and, be ing a soft white wheat, should not be grown in this red wheat terri tory. In addition, Rex is probably not resistant to stem or to leaf rust, two wheat diseases that are sometimes destructive in Kansas, but not troublesome in the Pacific Northwest.
