Enough of this new winter wheat now is on hand so that 1 bushel lots are being offered to' Iowa farmers for trial, according to Joe L. Robinson, of the farm crops department, Iowa State college.

Those interested In the new wheat may obtain a bushel and a half enough to seed one acre, by writing Mr. Robinson and sending a check for $2. The $2 charge is made to cover cost of the seed, the sack and handling. It does not include the freight. In the past five years Iowin winter wheat has averaged 38 bushels an acre in yield as compared with 86 for Ioturk, 35 for Kanred, 34 for Turkey Red and 33 for Iobred, according to Mr.

Robinson. The Iobred and Ioturk also were developed at the Iowa station. The Iowin was selected and developed from a Hungarian wheat variety, according to Mr. Robinson. In tests so far it has seemed unusually resistant to rust.
