 Points. 



The sowing took place at Dookie in June, 1908, and at Burnlev in June, 

 1909. For tlie first four months, at Burnley, the rains Avere about the average 

 amount. The next four months — May to August — constituted a very wet 

 period, which culminated in the greatest general flood ever experienced in 

 Victoria. The abundant rains at the sowing season insured the germination 

 of the seed and the spores, and consequent infection by the fungus where the 

 seed was not treated.
