Winter Wheat. _â€" LEADING VARIETIES SUCCESSFULLY TESTED IN 1898 ox 191 ONTARIO mans. One million acres of winter wheat will likely be sown in Ontario within the next three weeks. As the variety sown has a marked influence upon both the quality and the quantity of the crop produced, it is very important that the very best kinds be used. An increase in yield of one bushel of winter wheat per acre means a total increase of one million bushels for the province. The average annual yield of winter wheat per acre in Ontario for the past fifteen years is about twenty-seven per cent. lower than that of Great Britain and Ireland, and about thirty-one per cent. higher titan that of any of the winter wheat growing States of the American Union. The aim of Ontario should be to approach the record of the former rather than that of the latter. The average yield of winter wheat in Onta- rio for the eight years ending with 1898 is 21.6 bushels per acre, and that for the eight years ending with 1890 was 18 5 bushels per acre. Hence the change in average yield of winter wheat in Ontario is moving in the right di- rection. The growing of this very important crop has received a good deal of atten- tion in the Experimental Department of the Ontario Agricultural Collegel within the past ten years. Varieticsl obtained from the United States, Eng- land, Germany, France and Russia are] being carefully testcd, along with those , secured from the wheat growing sec-‘ tions of Canada. After being carefully tested in the experimental plots at the College in each of five years, the leading kinds are selected for cooperative ex. periments throughout Ontario. 1: has been found that the varieties which have given the best average results in the experiments conducted at the Col- , lege for a few years in succession have 3, nearly always given good satisfaction l on the farms of the prevince. Seven varieties of winter wheat were ’ sent out for co-cpcrnzivc erperimmu in the autumn of1897. These werei divided into three sets with three vari- eties in each set, the Dawson’s Golden Chaff being used in all the sets as a basis by whiih the results of all the varieties cou d be compared with one another. We. have reCeivcd 191 full and satisfactory reports of carefully conducted winter wheat experiments tor 1898. The following table gives the compntw ative yield of straw and grain per acre. of the varieties of winter wheat tested in 1898 on 191 farms. Straw per acre Grain per acre . (tons) (weighed bush.) Dawson’s Golden Chatl‘ 1.8 30.0 Imperial Amber...... 1.9 29.3 Early Genesee Giant . 1.7 28.: New Columbia 1.6 27.5 Early Red Clawson .. 1.7 ° 26.9 Pride of Genesee .... 1.5 25.5 Poole 1.5 244: This table should be of great value to the wheat growers of Ontario, as none except the 191 good reports are included in the summary. Much credit is due to the careful experimenters who sent us the reports of the tests made on their farms. CONCLUSIONS. 1. In the average yield of winter wheat per acre, the Dawson’s Golden Chall‘ stood highest among 11 varieties tested over Ontario in 1893;? among 9 varieties in each of the years 1894, 1895 and 1896, and among 7 varieties in each of the years 1897 and 1898. 3. Three of the varieties of winter wheat; have been tested over Ontario for five years in succession with the tol~ lowing average yields of grain per acre: Dawson’s Golden Chafi‘, 32 bushels; Early Genesee Giant, 28.9 bushels, and Early Red Clawson, 28.7 bushels. 3. Dawson's Golden Chafi‘ was the most popular varicty with the experi- menters in each of the past five years. 4. In the co-opcrativc experiments for 1898, the Dawson’s Golden Chad and Early Genesee Giant came through the winter the best, and the New Coi- umbia the poorest. 5. The Early Genesee Giant, Daw- son’s Golden Chaff and New Columbia possessed the strongest straw, and the Poole and Imperial Amber the weakest straw in 1898. 6. In the co-operative experiments 01 each of the past five years, the Dow- son’s Golden Chafi‘ was one of the least, and the Early Genesee Giant was one of the most. affected by rust. 7. In 1898 all varieties were practic- ally f'ree from smut, which is nearly al~ ways the case when no smut is sowo with the wheat. 8. The Pride of Genesee and the Imperial Amber produced the longest, and the New Columbia the shortest straw. 9. The New Columbia. Early Ited Ulnwson and Dawson's Golden Chuti were the first, and the Early Genesee Giant and Pride of Genesee were the last to mature. 10. The Dawson’s Golden Clmll and New Columbia produced the plumpest, and the Poole the most shrunken grain. The following leading varieties ol' winter wheat will be distributed lllls year for co-opcrativc experiments : Set 1. Dawson’s Golden Chat}, liarly Genesee Giant and Early Pied Clawsnn. Set 2. Dawson’s Golden Chat}, lm- pcrinl Amber and Golden Drop. Set 3. Dawson‘s Golden CltatI, Beard- ed Winter Fife and Stewart’s Champion. Any person wishing to conduct a care- t'ul experiment with one of these 5UP: should apply to the Experitnentalht, Agricultural College. Guelph, for the desired set, and one-half pound of each variety, together with instructions for testing and the blank form on which to report will be furnished free of co~.t to his address. The supply of some of this verietics is limited, but Wt: will be eu- abled to furnish a large number with this seed before the supply is cxhnusred A bulletin giving the results of 9;! varieties of winter wheat grown in the Experimental Department at the Unta- rio Agricultural College is now in the printer’s hands, and will be mailed from the Departmentot‘Agriculturc, 'l'orOnto, as soon as printed.
