Jour^ntl of A gririiJture, Victoria. [10 Nov., 1916. 



The average quality and bushel weight of the wheats from Werribee 

 were lower than from Longereuong. The yield of flour varied from 

 Yandilla King, 75 per cent., to Currawa, 68.5 per cent. Three varieties 

 gave under 70 per cent. (Commonwealth, Currawa, and Federation). 

 The water absorption capacity varied between Comeback, 55.2 quarts, 

 and Commonwealth, 45.2 quarts. College Eclipse shows a good strength 

 and high yield. The gluten content varied between Comeback, 10.78 

 per cent., to Penny, 6.99 per cent. The colour of the flours was indif- 

 ferent. The following may be mentioned as showing the best quality 

 on this farm: — Warden, Yandilla King, College Eclipse, Comeback, 

 Gluyas and Zealand Blue. Among the crossbreds special mention may 

 be drawn to Nos. 4102 and 4050. No. 4102 is remarkable for its high 

 water absorption capacity, and No. 4050 for a high flour yield and water 

 absorption capacity 



Rutherglen. 



Twelve named varieties and ten unnamed crossbreds comprise the 

 number tested from Rutherglen Experimental Farm.
