 ten times as much as the "reatest harvest ever reaped in Australia, and 

 thirty times as much a.-; Victoria's record wheat liarvest. The average 

 total amount of wheat produced in Europe during this period, 1901-1910, 

 was 1,657 million bushels per annum, whilst the total world production 

 for the same period was 3,233 million bushels per annum, /n spite of 

 this stiipcndoiis product i<iii , Eurnpe's net imports average no less than 

 S/f.'f. million hiishels per iinnntn, every European country e.rcept Russia

THORoroH grading of seed is vitally necessary on every wheat fami. 

 Grading of seed with a good machine not only removes weed seeds, 

 grains of other cereals, ruhhish, damaged and cracked grain, and thus 

 separates material of considerable commercial value for feed, but of 

 negligible value for seed, but the graded residue is more prolific than the 

 ungraded product.
