First. It was itointed out that Brevor, a rust resistant variety, has consistently yielded 1'rT- less than Omar. Before the rust wheat threat came along Brevor had been taken off of the recommended list for Oiegon. However, In view of Its resistance there will be a lot of this variety seeded this fall. Those seeding It should expect lower yields than with Omar and Burt if rust is not a problem next year. It is Interesting to note that yields decreased approximately five bushels per acre In 1901 and each variety showed approx imately the same decrease. While we do not have the 1961 yields for the Eightmlle nursery In Mor row county yields for I960 were Omar 23.9 bushels; Burt 28.4; Orfed 26.9; Columbia 33.4; and Gaines 23.3. At the Sherman branch experiment station, Gaines was 15 inches shorter than Orfed; 12 inches shorter than Omar; 11 Inches shorter than Burt. At Eightmile it was four inches shorter than Omar, Burt and Orfed and two Inches shorter than Columbia. The height was 24 Inches, compared to 26 and 28 Inches for other varieties.
