4. Experiments in progress Fall plantings for 1967 at the Izmir Centre included Uniform Regional T. durum Yield Trials of the 7 best Italian T. durum varieties and mutant lines (Table 1) at 11 locations, and Uniform Regional T. aestivum Yield Trials of 14 Mexican, 3 Italian, 3 Australian, 5 Turkish varieties and 3 Turkish standards at 15 locations in the Aegean Region. Proceeding from the North to the South the areas in which these trials are located are Bergama, Akhisar, Izmir (Menemen-2 locations, and Bornove), Manisa, Salihli, Alasehir, Torbali, OEdemis, Soke, Kocarli, Nazilli, Saraykoy and Ortaca. These trials are being conducted on a larger scale of soils and over a wider area than was possible during the two preceeding seasons, and should provide the first comprehensive results for these promising T. durum and T. aestivum materials.
