Rye is sown in the Tver government from August 20 to August 27, and is harvested from August 1 to August 13. Often the grain is not gath- ered in time to furnish seed for the following crop, but old seed has to be used. But this variety was harvested very much earlier and is a particularly early sort, the average length of time between seeding and harvest being 320 days. It is an excellent Russian rye and well adapted for growing in all our Northern States from New York to the Dakotas and south...ward to Kentucky and Kansas; also perhaps in Alaska. SISOLSK WINTER RYE. 1 This variety comes from Ust-Sisolsk, in the Vologda government. The latitude and climatic conditions of the locality and the kind of crop rotation practiced have already been mentioned (pp. 21, 22). The seed was contributed free of charge by Mr. A. E. Sukhanov, and delivered through the medium of the agricultural board of Sisolsk district. The variety has been grown in that region for many j^ears, and is, there- fore, thoroughly adapted to an extremely cold climate, and is also rather drought-resistant.
