Botes From tbe Penna. Experiment Station VARIETIES OF WHEAT. The comparison of new and stand" ard varieties of wheat by the Penn sylvania State College Agricultural Experiment Station, has been con tinued through the present season. The six varieties giving the highest yield were : Koyal Red Clawson 26.87 Dus- Forty-Fold or Gold Coin 26.80 Dawson's Golden Chad 26.43 " Century 215.71 ' Rochester Red 25.40 " Reliable 25.14 " Twenty-two varieties were tested, the average yield being 22.02 bushels. There was an average difference of 3.02 bushtls between the smooth and bearded varieties in favor of the smooth. About one-fourth of the grain was winter killed, which ac counts for the small average yield, it being only about two-thirds of our usual crop. The average yield of straw was 2450 pounds, and the aver age weight per bushel 62.04 pounds. Turkish Red was the poorest variety, yielding 15.37 bushels of grain and 1590 pounds of straw. The yield of ten varieties that have been tested for n'ne and ten years show no tendency to run out, except a slight decrease in tne yield of straw. A bulletin, giving a complete rec ord ot all the varieties for a series of years, is in preparation, and will be distributed free of charge. Enos II. Hess. The bulletins of the station will be sent free of charge, on application, as long as the supply lasts, and inquiries on agricultural subjects answered as far as possible. Address, II. P.
