A Good Disease-Resistant Wheat.

Amongst the wheats there was one from the New South Wales Agricultural College, called The Cedar, which appeared to be a very promising kind. This wheat was practically free from disease, and grew with a nice well upstanding straw, carrying good heads. On the other hand, there was another variety of wheat close by, the name of which I forget, which in growth was a complete failure, proving its absolute unsuitability for the locality.

Throughout the fourteen acres there were numerous examples of this kind of lesson, affording the most valuable guidance to farmers as to what variety of oats or other grain would prove the most profitable for them to sow. This kind of knowledge is worth money to the working farmer, and is supplied by the Demonstration Farms for the benefit of the whole farming community, if they choose to avail themselves of it.
