N hill Farm Competition. 



The property of the former gentleman is a mallee block. The scale of 

 points is the same as already set out for the large farms. 



Three-fourths of a Farmer's Wheat Crop on Fallow. 



In this class there has been good competition, and the crops inspected 

 may be claimed to represent the best in the district. 



Best 100 Acres of Wheat on Mallee Land. 

 It is satisfactory to find such a large number of competitors in this 

 section. As may be seen by the points awarded, the Mallee crops shown 

 are exceptionally good considering the season. 



It may not be out of place to express the opinion that the special cir- 

 cumstances surrounding the cultivation of Mallee land, demand a wheat 

 which will meet those conditions. The natural shorcness of straw, large, 

 well filled ear and early maturity of the " Federation " variety appear 

 to me to offer special advantages on Mallee land, and I have no hesitation 

 in recommending this wheat to Mallee farmers.
