Journal of Af/riculuire, Victoiia. [11 Feb., 1918. 



Perhaps the summary hereunder will most readily convey to readers 

 the result of the various experiments . Mac's White heads the list with 

 22.3 bushels per acre ; Gluyas and Dart's Imperial are next, while an 

 interesting comparison is afforded between select-bred Federation that 

 hai- become acclimatised, and select-bred Federation introduced from 

 other districts. The acclimatised Federation was more prolific than the 

 introduced Federation in two of the three centre^. 



The faJct that the past two seasons have been phenomenally wet 

 should not be lost sight of in studying the lift. In ordinary years the 

 early varieties do better.
