Association to-day a letter ,was read -.from Mr. John Rerinie ;Doyleston) stating that the present, grain season. was the best they had had, for many years,.and ha thought,it would be a-good time 'to have .an'; exhibition .'.': of. grain. He. had devoted much attention to the.growth of;wheat;.,and satisfied"that with careful cultivation the yield from tho best varieties of wheat'could ,be materially increased if not doubled. He suggested that "with this end in view. an..'exhibition.should be made of sheaves ■■ of: wl} eat" just: off .''.the' hinder, and a sample sack j when the.bulk was threshed, particulars' being'given as,to tho area of the field;.and the yield per acre.' The idea seems a good one,-but the letter was merely received... '■ ;.
