WHEAT RESEARCH
Expenditure Justified , BENEFITS FROM TESTS By Telegraph—Press Association Christchurch, June 23. “This justifies all that the farmers have spent on the institute so far,” declared. Mr. W. W. Mulholland at a meeting of the Wheat Research Institute when the director, Dr. Hilgendorf, reported on the special tests applied to sprouted wheat from South Canterbury and North Otago. Dr. Hilgendorf Said that samples of about 200 lines, representing 150,000 bushels of wheat, were received from merchants and millers who, instead of rejecting the wheat outright, submitted it for milling and baking tests. As a result 58 per cent, of the wheat was found fit for milling, so that the. farmers received milling prices for from 80,000 to 90,000 bushels of wheat that would otherwise have been rejected.
