Ohio wheat varieties yield study guides selection for general culture
The Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station reports results from seventy-five wheat varieties grown on one-tenth acre plots to compare yields with Velvet Chaff. Velvet Chaff averaged 25.4 bushels per acre, with a wide variation between plots. Twelve varieties yielded four to five bushels more, twelve yielded two to four bushels more, and thirty-four were about equal to Velvet Chaff. Ten fell two to four bushels below, and six dropped more than four bushels. Recommendations highlight Valley, Fultz, Velvet Chaff, Egyptian and Nigger as promising in favored areas, with caution on general culture.
