534 Agricultural Journal of Victoria. 



Mr. W. J. Rutland, Jeparit North — 



No rust on either flag or straw, but several kinds among the sample sown 

 showed rust badly. I thought it would be a bad wheat to shake, but it seemed tough 

 to thresh. It has one fault, it does not seem to stand up too well. 



Mr. J. W. Skinner, Caniambo — 



The Rerraf had no rust at all, and was sown in the middle of a paddock of 

 Purple Straw, which w?s badly affected with rust on the tlag. 



Mr. Ebenezer Jayner, Newbridge- 

 No rust whatever. I have hand-threshed the wheat, and got 21 lbs. (from 

 ^ lb.) of splendid clean wheat, which I intend to sow and give another trial. I 

 have no doubt about the Rerraf being a rust-resister. Purple Straw sown on 

 the same day was badly affected with rust. Rerraf is rather weak in the straw, 

 and more liable to go down than Purple Straw, but I think if the wheat was put 

 in with the drill with manure it would help to stiffen the straw. 



Very Slightly Rusted. 



Mr. James Corbett, Lillimur — 



Only a few specks of rust on about half a dozen straws in the whole 

 sample. It is a strong, healthy plant, and the best headed wheat I have ever seen. 



Mr. C. A. Yeamans, Tennyson, via Prairie — 



Rusr very slight on the straw as well as on the flag. This season, on the 

 light timbered land, it is the best wheat of all, as the other varieties. Purple 

 Straw, Queen's Jubilee, and Turvey's Experimental are all badly affected by 

 rust. 



Mr. Thos. Brown, Colbinabbin — 



I think it will be a very good wheat for here. It is earlier than Port 

 McDonnell or Purple Straw. I cut it on i6th November, and have not yet 

 threshed it, but think I will get about one bushel from the lb. I sowed. 



Mr. W. J. Ingram, Tittybong — 



Rust very slight on flag, only an odd spot, but Steinwedel all round it, 

 sown on the same day, and with same manure, was very rusty. 



Mr. R. G. Landry, Diapur — 



Rust very slight, just a spot or two on the flag, but Queen's Jubilee very 

 rusty. 



Mr. G. Fv Hutchings, Rupanyup — 



Rust very slight on the flag only. Dart's Imperial, Purple Straw, Queen's 

 Jubilee, Steinlee, Warland's Prolific, and Zealand Barthoud were all rusted, 

 some very badly. 



Slightly Rusted. 

 Mr. T. H. Leach, Yoiiarang — 



Slightly rusted on the flag I consider it a useful wheat. It is early, with 

 a light straw, stools and heads well, and / think uvuld stand rough winds as 

 regards shaking. The grain is plump, but rather small. 



Mr. H. Winkley, Koondrook — 



Rust slight on flag. It is a promising wheat, on account of being early. 

 It suits our climate. It was watered. The half-pound of seed returned half a 

 bushel.
