my entire summer fallow, 385

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. Rex wheat is being
