Improvement of the Wheat Crop in California (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Improvement of the Wheat Crop in California An impression exists among many California farmers that the soil will no longer produce profitable yields of good milling wheats This impression is strengthened by two well - recognized facts (1) That under past and present methods of wheat culture the soil is failing in many localities to produce as large crops as heretofore, and (2) that the Australian and Club varieties, the most widely grown California wheats, are extremely starchy. As only these very starchy varieties have been extensively grown, it has become necessary for the millers to import large quantities of Turkey wheat from the Middle West to blend with the California wheats.
