on a percentage basis, with its "comparable average" of Federation as 100, 

 *sinipli6es the comparison. These percentages, of course, should be read 

 with one eye fixed on the number of trials. 



Alany wheats grown by farmers give good yields in one season and poor 

 in others, but by stud3'ing the tables it will be found which are more 

 profitable than others, and which (by reason of several trials) have most 

 claim to attention. In this way six or eight wheats can be mentioned 

 for each district as those which should be grown, while others can be 

 recognised as worth further trial, though not grown long enough to enable 

 absolute comparison to be made. 



It is recognised that a farmer is in a measure dependent on the conditions 

 as to when he can sow his seed, and to meet this circumstance a table is 

 added in which tlie varieties that have done best in each district are arranged 

 in relation to maturity under the headings " late wheats," " mid-season 

 wheats," and " early wheats." It might be remembered once more that that 

 classification does not refer to the sowing season, but to the period of 

 maturity. Hence " late wheats " must be sown early in the sowing season, 

 and "early wheats " late in the sowing season.

 Penny, 85-8 ; Thew, 81-9 ; Comeback, 76-4 ; Warren, 71-4 ; Firbank, 66-9.
