Note. — For the purpose of these trials samples were taken at intervals from the 
corn as it ran down from the threshing-machine, and these were placed in numbered 
bags, which were delivered by the Judges to Messrs. Sutton and Sons, who tested 
the samples by sowing 50 grains out of each of them in their trial house. Sample 17 
was not, however, passed through the threshing-machine. It was rubbed out 
by hand from some sheaves which lay around a thcrmomcter-tubc in which a 
temperature of 131° had been registered.
