Show SPRING WHEAT ON DRY LAND Preferred in Some Sections to Winter Variety on Account of Peculiar Local Conditions. By JAMES D. MARSHALL. Colorado Agricultural College. Fort Collins. Colo.) In many sections of the dry lands, spring wheat is preferred to winter wheat because of the peculiar local conditions. However, the majority of spring varieties grown do not bring as high, a price on the market as the harder grained Turkey Red, which is the popular winter variety. The exceptions excep-tions to this are the Red Russian and the Marquis, one a semihard and the other a hard wheat which compare very favorably in yield and quality with the hard winter wheats, and they should replace to a large extent the white spring wheat which is so largely large-ly grown at the present time. Get some seed of either or both ot the above varieties and if given a fair trial, they will make themselves popular and in time will gradually replace the soft spring wheats. |
