This wheat was sown upon new ground; soil, clayloam, September 5, 1873; harvested July 1, 1874. Weight of straw and grain on one acre, 6,006 pounds. Yield of grain, 35 1-20 bushels per acre, weighing 60 pounds per bushel. Percentage of grain to weight of straw and grain, 35.3. This variety has been in cultivation upon the University farm for three years, with the following yields per acre: 1872. 1873. 1874. Mean... The history of this variety is given in my report for 1871. Bushels. 33/2 20 35 29 Diehl variety. Sown September 8, upon ground prepared as for Fultz; harvested July 1, 1874. Weight of straw and grain, upon one acre, 5,269 pounds. Yield of grain, 31.9 bushels, weighing 56 pounds each. Percentage of grain to weight of straw and grain, 36.3. This wheat was slightly injured by chinch-bugs. Both varieties of winter-wheat were protected upon the north and west sides by timber belts. SPRING-WHEAT. Red Mammoth Spring.-Sown by hand, 1 bushels of seed per acre, April 13. Weight of seed, per bushel, 59 pounds; harvested July 14. Weight of straw and grain per acre, 1,910 pounds.

The following varieties, of which we had but a small quantity of seed, were also in cultivation: Oran, Bismark, Ornautka, Chamberlin's and Eureka. The quantity was to small to make a comparison of their merits. The spring wheat, and all small spring grain, looked unusually promising, until about June 10, after which the combined effect of drouth and chinch-bugs ruined them. BARLEY.
