American Gooseberry Mildew. [Aug., 



will be 80s. per 504 lb. Farmers are reminded that the arrange- 

 ments as regards British wheat of the 1920 crop come to an end 

 on ISth August. 



Taking into account the value of imported wheats of com- 

 parable quahty on the open market, it is estimated that no re- 

 fund to millers will be required to ensure on average the receipt 

 of the above price by the grower. The Board of Trade, there- 

 fore, will pay no refund in respect of any home-grown wheat, 

 ground after 31st July. Millers are reminded that the under- 

 taking referred to relates solely to wheat of the 1920 crop. 

 Growers who sold their wheat between the 8th November, 1920, 

 and 5th March, 1921, and who have not yet m.ade their claims 

 under the schemes for the fulfilment of the Government's under- 

 taking in regard to the price to be obtained for wheat of the 

 1920 crop, must make their claims on the prescribed form not 

 later than the 13th August. Claims in respect of wheat sold 

 •direct to a miller must be transmitted to the miller for -^erti- 

 fication. and those relating to wheat sold to a merchant must 

 he certified bv the merchant and transmitted by the growers to 

 the local wheat panel not later than the 13th August.
