WITHDRAWAL OF WHEAT
The wheat variety 705,01 had been withdrawn from variety trials, Mr L. G. Copp, senior cereal breeder at the Crop Research Division, said on Wednesday, referring to a statement attributed to him in “The Press.” It had never been released as a commercial wheat and that was why it did not have a name. It was purely an experimental wheat. The report suggested that a mistake had been made—that it had been released and then found unsuitable. This had not happened. It had actually been relegated to a humbler role serving as material for further breeding work.
