These ten fields gave an average increase of 11.3 bushels an acre over the average yield of the counties. The University seed wheat av- eraged 30.88 bushels an acre. The} average yield of the counties from which the reports were made was 19.5. Reports came from Audrain, Buchanan, Caldwell, Perry and Johnson counties, _ The increase over the average yield varied from 4 bushels in Audrain County to 24 bushels on ofte farm in Buchanan County. The increase yield is due, say experts in the College of Agricul- ture of the University, to the fact that pure bred seeds are tsed. The wheat sold was improved strains of Michigan Wonder, Poole and Fulcaster varieties, The use of a pure strain of any good variety would, they say, increase the yield over the state percept- ibly. The wheat sold by the Univer- sity of Missouri is of improved strains of varieties best adapted for Missouri conditions.” It has been developed through several years of careful selection. Usual- ly about 400 bushels are offered for sale every year.
