Wheat Variety Tests Showing Up.

Toben Brothers, of Jordan township, sowed plots of as many different varieties of wheat furnished by Purdue last fall in order to determine whether or not any of them were better adapted to Jasper county conditions than the varieties now grown. While it is still too early to give definite information, one variety, the red rock looks especially promising. This conforms the common farm experience of Lake and Porter counties,. where the red, rock is becoming the most popular variety. The outcome of these plots should be watched with interest by wheat growers of the county.
