New Kind of Wheat Hybridization Proves Successful
Experiments in crossing two varieties of wheat at Washington State College Pallman by Professor Elliott and Mr. Lawrence yield a promising new variety well suited to the country. One report notes 60 bushels per acre with little shattering. Trials at Ritzville Quincy and Pullman show satisfactory results. The college plant has 50 acres under hybrid and selected winter wheat varieties with more to be planted in spring. Samples have been sent to farmers across regions from the British line to southern Idaho. The work promises major economic value for wheat production.
