 College Eclipse, 11.67 per cent., and the lowest by Federation, 7.26 per 

 cent. All the flours milled were of a good colour, with the exception of 

 Huguenot. The general average of the wheats in all respects was higher

 good results at Longerenong, it is difficult to mark out any worthy of 

 special notice. The following, in order of merit for quality, may be 

 mentioned: — College Eclipse, Bunyijj, Bayah, American 8, King's 

 Early, and Yandilla King. 



The six unnamed crossbreds all gave satisfactory returns, and seem

 Federation and Thew x Comeback as being high in gluten, returning a 

 good percentage of flour and bushel weight. Indian F x Comeback 

 returned about 4 bushels per acre more than Federation.
