The autumn of 1015 and the spring of 1010 were very wat, and the month of July was dry and hot. About two hundred and ninety var- ieties of winter wheat and a large number of selections and crosees have been tested at the College within past twenty-seven years. Of the nam- ed varieties fourteen have been grown in each of twenty-one years, and the result of these are of special value. The following gives the averages for twenty-one years in yield of both grain. and straw per acre, and in weight per measured bushel of a few of the leading varieties: Dawson's Golden Chaff 51.3 bushels, 2.0 tons, and 60.1 lbs ; Imperial Amber 47.9 bushels, 3 2 tons, and 61.21bs,; Early Genesee Giant 46.8 bushels, 3.0 tone, and 60.2 lbs.; Early Red Clawson 96 6 bushels, 2 8 tone, and 59.2 lbs,; and Egyptian Am bar 46.4 bushels, 3 2 tone, and 617 lbs. The average results of the fourteen varieties are as follows: yield of grain per acre 40.9 bushels for 1016 and 45,1 bushels for the twenty-one year period; yield of straw per acre 2 0 tons for 1016 and all for the average of the twenty- one year period; and weight per meas• ured bushel 63 2 lbs, for 1916 and 61.1 lbs for tie whole period. It will be seen that in 1016 the winter wheat gave an average of practically four bushels per acre below and two pounds per measured bushel above the aver- age of the past twenty-one years. Of the twenty eight varieties of win- ter wheat which have been Nested for, the past five years the highest yields in bushels per acre were produced by Greed Prize 46.7, Kharkov 40 4, Imper- ial Amber 54.3, Gillespie Red 41.0, Yar- oslaf 44.7, American Banner 441, Theiss 43 8, and Michigan Amber 43.7, Those varieties of winter wheat which produced the largest loaves of bread from equal quantities of 1i.,ur in the chemical Department of tho Col. lege are as follows: Yaroslaf, B;enat- ka, Crimean Red, Tuscan Island, Buda Pestb, Tasrnanle Red, Egyptian Am- ber, Kentucky Giant, Rudy, Turkey Med, Treadwell and Bulgarian. Crosses have been made between the Dawson's Golden Chaff and some of thema•' v etros o particularly f p t cularly high qual- ity for bread production, such as Tas- mania Red, Crimean Red, Turkey Red, Ouda Pesth and Imperial Amber. In the average tests for the past five years one of these crosses has surpa8s• ed in yield per acre all the named var. ieties which, were grown at the Col- lege. In treating winter wheat for smut the heat results were obtained by im- mersing the grain for twenty minutes in a solution Made by adding oue pint of formalin to forty-one gallons of water. This treatment is simple, cheap and effectual, Other experiments Show the great importance of using large, plump, sound, (veli•matured eeed of strong vitality. In the eceoperative experiinents throughout Ontario reports have been received from thirty-three counties, 1'hese results show the following av- t rage yields in bushels per acre: Im- perial Amber 33.5, American 13anner 31.0, Banatka 30.8, and. Yaroslaf and Crimean 'Red each 20 tf. In Winter Rye the I'etkus variety made the highest records both at the Oollege and throughout Ontario. Win. ter Barley gave a yield in 1010 °i' 49 and an average yield for nineteen years of 52 bushels per acre.
