PHOSPHATE WAS GOOD PRODUCER Made Big Increase in Yield of Wheat in Experiment Made By Perdue Threshing of small gain on the Huntington Experiment Field, operated by the Purdue University Agri cultural Experiment Station, showed some interesting results this year. The wheat yield varied from an aver age of 14.3 bushels per acre on the un 1 treated land to 23.7 bushels where manure had been used for corn two years before and acid phosphate tor wheat. The manure alone made an increase of 5.4 bushels and acid phosphate in addition made a further in crease of 4 bushels per acre. Where used on immarurml land, acid phos phate Increased the yield 6 b vbels per acre and basic slag produce 1 an in crease of 5.7 bushels per acre. Raw rock phosphate produced practically no increase either with or without manure.. in one expirement the effect of tint othy as compared with clover in the ’ rotation is being tested.

The wheat on the clover ■ plot was 27.2 bushels per acre and that on the timothy plot, 22.7 bushels, a diterence of 4.5 bushels per acre, due • to the effect of the clover. Many . farmers in*seeding a mixture of clover , and timothy, are using too much tim i othy in the mixture and subduing the clover. Where seeded together on the • experiment field, 2 pounds of timothy 1 and 8 pounds of clover per acre is the rate used. The best variety of wheat on the ’ field this year was a new variety de--1 veloped at Purdue that has not yet been named. It yielded 27.2 bushels per acre and tested 59 pounds to the r bushel as it came from the machine. Portage, a smooth variety that is giving good results in Ohio, made 27.2 bushels but only tested 56. Michigan Amber came third with a yield of 26.8 bushels, and Rudy was fourth with 26.4 bushels. Michikoff, another new 1 variety, produced at Purdue, tested '9 but only yielded 23.2 bushels. Red 1 Rock only made 25.1 bushels per acre I* this year though it has the highest average yield for the last three years of any variety in the test. Its ave , rage is 25.2 bushels; Michigan Amber ( 22; Rudy 19.3 and Michikog 17.9 bush , els. Os the varieties of rye used, Mam , moth Winter gave the highest yield. [ 31.9 bushels per acre. Wisconsin , Pedigree No. 1 followed with 31.7; Pet- ) kus 30.0; Rosen 28.3, and common rye . from seed bought locality, 28.0 bushels. 1 The Mommoth Winter also has the highest three year average yield of > 36.8 bushels, while Wisconsin Ped' I gree No. 1 follows with 36.5; Petkus I 35.1; and Rosen with 32.1 bushels. I Common rye was not used in the test till this year. Samuel E. Ervin had a twenty-acre field of Michigan Amber wheat this year that made 22 bushels per acre and tested 59, the highest in the neighborhood.
