434 QUEENSLAND AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL. [1 Dec., 1902. 
The following collection of wheats was sown in May, 1901, on a piece of specially 
prepared land, for the purpose of ascertaining the earliest and most rust-resisting 
varieties; but owing to the grasshopper scourge, which took place early in October, 
the experiment is not complete. The notes attached, showing variety, health, and 
seasons of wheats, will be of some value for future work in this connection :—

Matzz.—The varieties of maize sown were published in the issue of the Queens. 
land Agricultural Journal of June, 1902, to which readers are referred. 
All the varieties were again planted in +-acre blocks the second week in 
December, but failed to cob, and were fed off. A 5-acre block of Golden Superb was 
planted on the 10th of January; on the 6th of April it was cut into sheaves by the 
corn harvester, fielded in the stook for one month or more, and then put through the 
chaffcutter as required. The ripe cobs were plucked off first, and the immature 
cobs were chaffed up with the stalks. I must say this is proving one of the best 
rough fodders I ever handled. 
Ten acres of Early Hogan failed, and a collection of Swect Table corn did not 
do well. 
Cowrrs.—Last year crops were cut into chaff, and yielded 30 tons, besides 
120 bushels of seed; part of the former went to Gindie State Farm, and the available 
portion of the latter was sold at 10s. per bushel. The present season’s yield has been 
poor.
