The major part of the work In
developing the new small grain
variety was conducted on the
PJedmont Branch Experiment
Station at Statesville, of which J.

erintendent in charge. Part of the
hybridization work and the grow

Dr. Middleton reported that
eight-year tests at the Statesville
experiment station showed the
following comparative. yields;
Carala, 27.6 bushels per acre;
Leaj) 157, 25.7 bushels per acre;
Redhart, 25.3; and Fulcaster
24.1 bushels per acre. 'Three
tests were conducted in .1939-40
In the Coastal Plain area and the
new variety showed up as fol
lows: Carala, 32.7 bushels per
acre; Redhart 5, 29.2 bushels per
acre; Purplestraw, 25.6; Hardlr-
ed, 27.1; Coker 39.3; Leap 157,
24.0; Fulcaster 151, 20.1; and
Frondosa, 21.8 bushels per acre.
The agronomist says that Car
ala is a stiff white-strawed vari
ety that stands well for combin
ing. It is not resistant to loose or
covered smut or to leaf rust, hut
it is early enough to escape or
dinarily serious rust injury. In
winter hardiness. It is not equal
to Fulcaster, and it is not recom
mended for ths mountain region.

"Grasses run very low la .calcium

during these seasons the percent

The agronomist advises the use
of lespedeza unless the soil Is In

case “White clover will do good.
Lespedeza can be grown any
where In the 'State except on some
of the sandhill soils. “But,” he
