The wheat harvest has been com-

throughout Ontario for the success-
ful growth of most of the autumn -
sown crops. '1 he brief report here
presented gives'sotne of the principal
results of experiments renducted at
the Agricultural College and
throughout the province of Ontario.
Sixty-one varieties of winter wheat
were grown: in the experimental de-
partment during the past year. The
flve highest leading kinds were of
the Dawson's (.olden Chari class,
