Redcoat Wheat
Yields Higher
Than All Others
Redcoat wheat has outyield
ed all other wheat vaneties in
Pennsylvania, a seven county
survey shows Despite the
drought. Redcoat averaged
•40 2 bushels per acie two
more bushels per acie than
Dual, its neaiest competitor.
Dual averaged 38 1 bushels,
Seneca 35.4, and Pennoll 34 9
bushels
In six of eight years of test
ing, Redcoat has had the high
est yields of the four recom
mended varieties, according to
Robert P. Pfeifer, small giains
breeder for the Agncultuial
Experiment Station at the
Pennsylvania State University.
Redcoat’s eight year average
Is 42 2 bushels per acre. Dual
41.1, Seneca 37.5, and Pennoll
37 bushels.
Redcoat’s outstanding yield
Is due largely to straw strength
and disease resistance, Dr.
Pfeifer claims. Redcoat is the
first Pennsylvania wheat with
combined resistance to Hessian
fly, mildew, leaf and stem rust
and some resistance to loose
emut. Leaf rust and mildew
damaged severely many wheat
fields this year, Pfeifer found,
hut did not hurt Redcoat.
“No other Pennsylvania
wheat has the ability to pro
duce 45 to 60 bushels per acre

from 50 pounds of spring top
dressing,” Dr. Pteifer points
out.
“Because of excellent straw
strength, 50 pounds of avail
able nitrogen topdressing per
acre may he used without caus
ing straw breakage. Normally
other vaneties are limited to
30 pounds of available nitro
gen per acre,” he adds.
Early Planting Helpful
Early planting helps Red
coat yields, the suivey shows.
Both Redcoat and Dual may
be planted eaily m September
and may be fall pastured.
Hessian fly, which damages
other vaneties, does not injure
Redcoat or Dual. Being winter
hardy, they may be planted in
late September or early Octo
ber where the soil is not pre
pared for early seeding.
In preliminary experiments
at University Park, Redcoat
showed poor winter survival
on areas having acid soils /ith
pH of 4.5 to 5.2. Redcoat
survived severe winter tem
peratures in comparsion tests
where the soil was well limed
above pH 6.2.
Mushrooms, toadstools, or
puffballs m your lawn are
fruits of various fungi and
may be difficult to eradicate
until all wood or organic
matter on which they are feed
mg is decomposed, says Herb
Cole, Penn State extension
plant pathologist.

was urging the action so that
milk producers can share m
all milk marketing areas.
The hearing which opened
last week is to consider a
mendments to federal ordei ?
regulating the handling of
milk in the New York - New

Williams suggested the gov
ernment rewrite all milk
marketing agreements to guai
antee the “free flow of milk”
in line with the U. S Supreme
Court decision outlawing com
pensatory payments to out
of-diatnct suppliers as being
in restraint of trade and ex-
cessive.
Williams said Wisconsin
milk producers were not seek
ing to invade Eastern markets
with low-priced fluid milk, ad
ding that “it would not be
profitable to do so.”
