Washington bulletin on wheat varieties and seed sourcing
The bulletin argues best adaptation depends on local conditions with more wheat and higher market value. It says importing seed from other states or districts does not improve quality or yield. It notes medium early seeding yields better returns than very early or late, and is available free from the Washington state experiment station at Pullman.

Radium ore contains only a fraction of a grain per ion and radium forms through slow uranium decay, then quickly decays to other elements, preventing natural accumulation in large masses.
