“It has been estimated that the total annual cost of research work on wheat Is 188,000,’’ Mr L. G. Copp, senior cereal breeder at the Crop Research Division at Lincoln, says in the latest issue of the “New Zealand Wheat Review.” “The money now spent on this work greatly exceeds the amount spent in the early days of wheat breeding, but for the purpose of making a rough assessment of the total cost on present prices, 43 years at $BB,OOO amounts to $3,784,000. This should be compared with the annual saving of more than $2,000,000 a year in overseas exchange from the increased wheat yields from Arawa and Aotea.”
