Overview

Excerpt from The Basis for the Improvement of American Wheats This work was continued, but in the meantime careful studies were being made in the several wheat districts with a view of determining the particular needs Of each. In some districts greater hardiness of winter sorts is required; in others, varieties with a particularly tena cions chaff; in others, stiffer straw; in others, drought resistance, and so on. Varieties bred for North Dakota and Minnesota are of no value for California, and the best varieties for Texas would be useless in Montana. But aside from these considerations a knowledge Of the different botanical groups of wheats is necessary, in order to have at command all the sources from which may be drawn the qualities required for different districts.
