Among\nthe tests carried out during the past\nsix years were Included thick versus\nihln seeding, early versus late seeding, the influence of different types of\nfertilizers and different types of crop\npreceding tlie wheal, tis compared with\nhare fallow.\nThe most decisive results have come\nfrom the dates of seeding. ln each\nseason that rust has appeared, the\nearly sown wheat was less affected by\nit. at the time of ripening.

The crops sown on May 20\nand May 30 was 100 per cent, rusted\nat harvest lime.
