Show DroughtResisting Crops It requires many years for crops from humid climates to adapt themselves them-selves to arid conditions hence we should take advantage of any strain or variety which has already acquired droughtresisting qualities Homegrown Home-grown seed should always be given the preference but on this point we are a little weak when it comes to getting really good seed We now have varieties of wheat grown In tho intermountain region for 25 years or more and these are thoroughly acclimated accli-mated While our homegrown varieties va-rieties are good they are often displaced dis-placed by valuable acquisitions from abroad however Many recent introductions Intro-ductions have been grown In arid regions for centuries and tho drought resisting habit thoroughly fixed Such varieties are tho Kubanka and Turkey Tur-key Red wheats and brome grass all three of which have proven especially especial-ly valuable when grown on the high plateaus and in tho mountain valleys of this region |
