sciences of the day. Significant early included introductin of soybeans and alfalfa as Kansas crops. Veterinarians developed an effective against blackleg, then a major disease of cattle. Scientists and support personnel at the KAES work for all the people of Kansas — helping farmers, agri-business firms and consumers, both urban and rural. Research in agriculture is continually changing to meet new challenges. the current economic situation, KAES research has emphasized ways of saving money through better methods of grain storage, more efficient beef new controls for animal and plant diseases, improved irrigation techniques and by production of energy from crop residues. Research also continues on better crop management, new varieties of present crops, alternative crops and better animals production. Many of these involve conservation of soil, water and energy, all vital to the future of The KAES has undertaken more than 600 research projects in many areas. Scientific research provides the that is the foundation for future progress in agriculture. The scientists who produce this information are John Dunbar, dean of College of Agriculture and director of the Ag Experiment Station, said. Dunbar gave as an example the development of Newton wheat, released at the KAES in 1977, which continues to become more dominant as the leading wheat variety in the state. In 1982, 41 per- cent of the wheat in Kansas was planted with Newton variety. In east-central Newton made up 70 percent of the NOT JUST CUTE — Kangaroo rats have been the subject of study by Jim Reichman, assistant in biology, for about five years. The rats have helped in the understanding of grain storage problems which are similar to those encountered by farmers. — Photo by Allen Eyestone wheat acreage in 1982. The economic in 1980, 1981 and 1982 is nearly $200 million. The breeding program to improve wheat continues, emphasizing high content and disease and insect resistance. Arkan is the latest variety to be developed at the KAES. It is an early, short wheat that is resistant to several diseases and to the Hessian fly. Agricultural economist have compared the yield potential in Kansas of 10 popular wheat varieties (eight of them developed at the KAES) to that of the original Turkey Red. All new varieties showed greater yield, and those from the KAES showed yields 42 percent greater. Total wheat yield for one year has been by 96 million bushels, and KAES releases account for 75 percent of these bushels. Organized in 1888, the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station was the result of the Hatch Act of 1887 that states to establish agricultural research centers.
