Rerraj — A Eud-re.H/iting Wheat. 533 



Mr. Jolin Arbuckle, Gre Gre — 



No rust at all. If it has any fault at all it is perhaps a little soft in the 

 straw, and does not stand up well. It ripened a fortnight earlier than Purple 

 Straw sown alongside. The parcel I got weighed exactly 7 ozs., bag included. 

 I threshed it out this week, and had a return of 15 lbs. 



Mr. William Gleeson, Sutherland — 



No rust whatever. Dart's Imperial, sown at same time, badly affected. 

 From the half-pound sown I will get about 20 lbs. 



Mr. W. Brereton, Gunbower — 



No rust, but Steinwedel and Purple Straw full of rust. 



Mr. H. E. Dixon, Oak vale — 



No rust. Rerraf was sown in the centre of Purple Straw, which was rusty. 

 From the pound of seed I got a yield of 33 lbs. 



Mr. E. Pearce, Jeparit — 



No sign of rust. I find Rerraf tends to lay down during ram and wind. 



Mr. J. Hicks, Kaniva — 



I did not receive the wheat till after I had finished seeding, so had to 

 plant it alongside greenstuff, heavily manured last year with farmyard, and 

 about 60 lbs super. The greenstuff was rotten with rust, and the Rerraf free. 



Mr. M. Flannery, Rowland — 



No rust visible. Purple Straw alongside very rusty. 



Mr. H. Schunk, Natimuk — 



No signs of rust, but Dart's Imperial and Tuscan much affected with rust. 

 I sowed one-half on timber land and the rest on soil similar to the Wimmera 

 plains, and it does well in both places. 



Mr. Michael O'Dwyer, Tabilk— 



No rust appeared. I harvested it on i6th December. It seems a good 

 head. 



Messrs. Aldridge Bros., Springhurst — 



Free from rust. Sown one day later than Dart's Imperial, but ripened 

 three weeks earlier. Two pounds of seed yielded 52 lbs. 



Mr. James H. Hosking, Beulah — 



No rust whatever, but Dart's Imperial sown at same time was very rusty. 

 Rerraf is rather weak in the straw. 



Mr. G. T. Glenny, Gunbower — 



No rust at all. I sowed three-quarters of a cup full, and reaped 35 times 

 as much. It did not stand the hot winds too well, and the storm coming 

 shortly after blew it about so as to make it bad for stripping, but with a 

 binder not a straw would be lost. 



Mr. Diprose, Lorquon — 



No rust. Bluey sown at the same time surrounded the Rerraf, and was 

 very rusty. Promising; an early wheat, about the same as Steinwedel, but 

 does not seem so liable to shell out. 



Mr. J. T. Clark, Toolleen— 



Rerraf is an early wheat, and sown in the month of March should give a 

 good return. It is perfectly rust-proof.
