It will be noticed that higher yields have been obtained at each of 

 the tlu-ee centres from the plots which received heavier dressings of 

 manure than are generally given by wheat-growers in the Mallee. In 

 the variety trials the same varieties have given somewhat conflictin«y 

 returns at the different centres. At Carwarp the list is headed by two

 wheat, has beaten most other varieties, but it is a rather risky variety to 

 grow as it shakes badly.
