WHEATGROWING IN AUSTRALIA. 



With the growing scarcity of foodstuffs that has become a 

 world-wide feature of the last few years, the wheatgrower is one of 

 the most important necessities in civilisation. He has prospered 

 in the past, but the future holds still greater and richer prospects.. 

 And in no country in the world are those prospects brighter than 

 in the Commonwealth of Australia. The world's surface is gradu- 

 ally filling up, and most of the older countries have reached sight 

 of the limit of cultivation, so the world's millions have to look to 

 newer lands to provide them with food. The great island continent 

 in the southern seas possesses a vast area of proven wheat land, 

 as yet untouched by the plough. It lies dormant, fertile, and 

 responsive, awaiting the union of labour and land to yield abun- 

 dance of food.
