AUSTRALIAN WHEAT VARIETIES. 25 
Experiments indicate that Hard Federation is superior for milling 
and bread-making purposes to the leading commercial varieties now 
grown in the Pacific coast area and also to Federation and White 
Federation wheats. 
The Australian varieties in general are susceptible to most cereal 
diseases, but as many of these are not destructive in the Pacific 
coast area this is not considered a sufficient reason for not increasing 
their production. 
The supply of the seed of the Hard Federation and White 
Federation is being increased for commercial distribution in those 
areas where each has been found best adapted.
