TESTING OF WHEAT
Station at Ashburton Advice that a moisture-testing: station will bo set up in Ashburton, as in previous year's, has been received from the Wheat Research Institute by the president of the Ashburton Grain, Seed and Produce Merchants’ Association (Mr L. Christmas). The station will be in the A. and P. Rooms, . The circular states that the stations at Ashburton and Timaru are staffed with University students, who have to return to College at the end of February. Although every effort will be made to replace them and to keep the stations open as long as required, shortage of trained operators may make tills impossible, as the harvest is expected to be unusually late this season. If and when these two stations are closed, merchants and growers are requested to send their samples to the Wheat Research Institute, Christchurch. Those sending samples are requested to place them in airtight containers, such as tins, with tire lids fastened with adhesive tape.
