PROFITABLE 
WHEAT -GROWING 
The elements necessary to success are admitted to be the production— under 
the most adverse influences of climate— of a sufiicient quantity per acre to show . 
a fair margin of profit after paying expenses, and the cultivation of those 
varieties of Wheat that will command the highest market prices. 
We maintain that these advantages have been gained by farmers who 
have tried our Cross Bred Wheats this season — one of the worst experienced 
for many years -and the evidence we produce in the following pages is more 
than sufficient to confirm our own judgment, that for general good quality of 
grain and straw, for earliness and increased productiveness, our Cross Bred 
Wheats are far and away superior to any other Wheats in ordinary use. 
In many cases the grain holds its own with popular imported stocks, 
whilst from the fact of a judicious blending of Red and White Wheats in the 
one berry, it is confidently anticipated that millers will rapidly recognise the 
! high milling value of our Cross Bred Wheats. 
i In the selection of live stock and implements, the intelligent farmer exercises 
his own judgment based upon his experience, and spares no expense to obtain 
the best in its class. Is not this practice equally important in the selection of 
seeds and seed grain ? And yet how few there are who have hitherto attached 
■ serious consideration to this vital subject. 
' We believe Wheat-growing can be and will be made profitable in this country 
by a more careful study of the adaptability of the soil, and a wise selection of 
the most desirable varieties, as recommended by Mr. H. Evershed in the 
following extract from the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society : 
“If English farmers are to grow Wheat successfully, they must cultivate 
only those varieties that possess the merits of early maturity, abundance of 
straw of fine quality, productiveness, and high quality, so that in view of keen 
foreign competition the grain may hold its own in the estimation of millers, 
or prove valuable for mixing with the hardest grains of India and America.”
