Abstract
Yellow chromogenic bacteria, of the type previously reported on commercial samples, were found on all samples representing five varieties of wheat grown at 21 stations in 1952, and six varieties grown at 19 stations in 1953. Numbers varied widely, significantly from station to station and from year to year, but not significantly from variety to variety. A correlation between numbers of bacteria and yield of wheat was apparent from the data, but the coefficient was not significant at P = 0.05.
