College Grows
New Pa. Wheat
A new Pennsylvania wheat
was released by scientists of the
Pennsylvania Agricultural Ex
periment Station at the College
with approximately 200 acres
planted to increase supplies for
certified seed growers next year.
As the first new Pennsylvania
wheat since 1917, the new strain
has stirred considerable interest
since it possesses milling quali
ties not available in popular vari
eties now in use.
Clarence S. Bryer, agronomist
at the College, reports that in
seven year's tests, the new wheat
consistently outyielded seven
other varieties.
Resists Diseases
The new wheat is a soft, red
winter wheat with good yield,
high test weight, possessing a stiff
tall straw, and is resistant to sev
eral diseases. Milling tests show
it has a satisfactory soft wheat
quality, large kernel and good
gluten quality.
While it has gone as high as 50
bushels per acre in some plots,
the 1950 records show the new
wheat produced 46.9 bushels av
erage as compared to 44.5 bushels
for all varieties under test.
Of hybrid origin, the wheat is
the result of a cross first made in
1933 between Valprize and Nit
tany varieties by Dr. C. F. Noll,
professor emeritus and• former
head of the department of agron
omy at Penn State.
