 Hard Wheats. 



The following' varieties are still under trial: — Black Don, Black 

 Persian, Black Goose, Wild Goose, Taute, Golden Ball, Bontaar. 



S UMMARY : Wheats . 



Of the early wheats. Union Selections 17, 7, 11, 62, 31, 81, and 116 

 should be g-iven preference in the south-west Cape over both Gluyas 

 Early and Primrose, the two varieties most commonly grown in this 

 area. 



In those sections where the seasons are short Union 52 is recom- 

 mended, since it is the earliest maturing of any of the Union Selec- 

 tions. 



Florence is the quickest maturing variety of all the early wheats 

 which can be recommended for the south-west Cape. It is especially 

 suited to sections with a small rainfall and short rainy season. It 

 can be sown later than any other variety irentioned in Table I. _ 



Of the mid-season varieties, the cross-bred Bobs x Rieti Sel. 

 No. 10 is very promising. This wheat and Red Egyption have both 

 yielded better than Spring Early, the standard variety of this class. 



Of the late varieties, Kleintrouw must be given preference over 

 Rieti, the standard late wheat of the south-west Cape, in regard to 

 both yield and earliness of maturity. Rieti is extremely late and in 

 consequence the crop will suffer in short seasons from drought and 

 from shattering by south-east winds.
