Small grain yields this spring,
according to County Agent Lo-
vell Kuykendall, were somewhat
disappointing. Oat yields ran
fairly well but wheat yields
were lower than anticipated.
The grain produced was of
good quality and had fairly good
test weights.
Due to rainy spring
much of the grain fell down
or shattered. Many farmers
complained of leaving na
much as 10 bushels on the
ground per acre.
Wheat averaged about 16
bushels to the acre with a gen-
eral range of from 12 to 16

but with some producing as
high as 26 bushels to the acre.
Oats averaged 30 to 36 buah-
als over the county.
Wheat also suffered from leaf
rust during the winter. How-
ever the new Caddo wheat made
an extremely good showing
since it is highly rust resistant.
Howard Bloomer of Lohn har-
vested 25 bushels per acre with
the rust resistant wheat.
“McCulloch County had
better small graia than the
counties to the west since
we got more May rain*.
However the counties to the
north probably had better
yields,” Kuykendall said.
Rains in May made some of
the wheat a little dark but it is
good for feeding purpose*. The
small grain furnished excellent
grazing from September till
March. Milk lambs grazed on
the small grain were extremely
good, the county agent pointed
out.
