The new variety was developed by Dr. Warren Kronstad, reports Harold Kerr, County Extension Agent. The new variety is semi-dwarf with white, stiff straw. It was developed from a cross between a semi-dwarf and a French cultivar made at the Hyslop Agronomy Farm near Corvallis in 1965. The new wheat has good resistance to stripe rust, and has good resistance to leaf rust and common bunt. It is moderately resistant to mildew and is susceptible to dwarf bunt, flag smut and snow mold. It appears to have some tolerance to cercosporella foot rot which could be important for early seeding for erosion control. Stephens has been the highest yielding variety for three consecutive years in the Regional Uniform Winter Wheat Nurseries grown at several locations in the western states. At the Sherman Branch Experiment Station at Moro, it was the highest yielder for the past two years. Under irrigation at Madras, it yielded 3.5 bushels more than Hyslop. At Ontario, it yielded 1.8 bushels less than McDermid. In local trials at the Frank Anderson Ranch, Stephens did not do as well as our present varieties in 1976. At the Rew Farm west of Pendleton, it yielded the same as McDermid. Growers who would like to purchase Foundation seed and participate in the increase of Stephens should contact the Extension office. The seed must be grown under the certification program and is available in limited amounts at $12.00 a bushel. f T 9 irriguii news Francis Rose Wilson 922-3352 Re-dedication service for Irrigon pastor A re-dedication service and party was given Sunday to honor Pastor Carl Wright of the Irrigon Baptist Church on the 25th anniversary of his ordination to the ministry.
