Excerpt from Seed Wheat: An Investigation and Discussion or the Relative Value as Seed of Large Plump and Small Shrivelled Grains

The differences in yield arising from the use of seeds of different sizes,' and the couse quent gain to farmers through the proper grading of seed wheat so as to secure for seed only that which is best, led to a desire to ascertain the precise quality of the seed wheat being used in this State. Accordingly arrangements were made for collecting samples in various parts of the State at sowing time, the samples to be as far as possible the ones actually being sown.

The task Of collecting these samples was entrusted to Mr. E. D. Butler, and it was carried out carefully and systematically - several hundred samples being collected, to each of which was attached a statement showing the locality in which it was being sown, by whom it was being sown, and the name of the variety. Each sample consisted of about five pounds of grain, though in some cases there was somewhat less, and in a few cases more.
