In fact, we know scarcely nothin' about smut an' its cure, if there is any. You farmers who raise only grain have got the work down to a science. This Bluestem is not bearded wheat, like Turkey Red.
Why do you call it that when it's green and yellow?" queried the girl. "It's a name. There are many varieties of wheat. Bluestem is best here in this desert country because it resists drought, it produces large yield, it does not break, and the flour-mills rate it very high. Bluestem is not good in wet soils."

"We've got over sixteen hundred acres in fallow ground, a half-section in rye, another half in wheat Turkey Red and this section you see, six hundred and forty acres, in Bluestem," said Kurt.
