March Seeding Superior Tor Some New Varieties The selection of which wheat or barley variety to plant dur ing February doesn't have con census among the grain produc- whateverinth world you're i looking for. C7 GAZETTE-TIMES ers of the county. There appears to be more agreement on March soedings. For a number of years it had been fairlv well accepted that winter wheat will yield better than spring wheat when seed ed prior to the middle or eo ruarv. Between then and the first of March it was believed spring wheat began proving su perior. The introduction of new var ieties has raised the question about their spring seeding date characteristics varying from the old ones no longer popular. In the past two years the rvmlleton Station has done a number of spring seeding date trials. Researchers there used Gaines and Moro winter wheat in comparison to Idaed 59 spring wheat. A winter barley Hudson, was compared to Gem, a spring variety. Results at the Pendleton Sta tion show Idaed 59 superior to Games and Moro when seeded after the first week in March. Yield data for these three var ieties were quite similar for the February 24 seeding date and the March 1 date. Gaines and Moro failed to head out when seeded March 23. Although Idaed 59 seeded on this date yielded nearly as well as earlier dates. Barley performance was a lit le different with Hudson pro ducing a fair yield when seed ed March 23 (although only atout half as much as the Feb ruary 10 seeding l. Hudson was a fairly consistent yietder at the different weekly dates until i he last seeding. Gem spring barley yielded consistently good through the period of weekly seeding from February 10 to March 23. The highest Gem yields were noted at the March 11 seeding date. Gem has proved to be a high yielding barley under trials on Condon-Morrow soils as well as Ritzville soils in Gilliam and Morrow counties Wheat League's 1967 Cake Baking Contest Slated Mrs. Marge Graves of Hepw- ner, the Morrow county cntur man of the Oregon Wheat Grow ers League domestic wheat ut ilization commute, nas an nounced the cake and frosting ivcinos for the VMu cake bak- Inu contest, sponsored ny me League.
