Old Wheat versus New for Seed.— The Queenslander recently published the following letter upon the advantage of using old wheat for seed :—Most farmers are fond of new wheat, yet, if you ask them why, they cannot tell you ; they can assign no reason why new wheat is preferable to old, only simply that it suits. I, who always love to make observations on causes as well as their effects, have found by experience that it is most advantageous to sow old wheat. My reasons are these— First, I have a field of twenty acres, which' whenever in the course of time it came to be sown with wheat, was always sure to be winter proud. The soil being rather light, I sowed, merely from practise, with new wneat; the result was, it became shrivelled in the grain, and was not at all to be compared with the crop of an adjoining neighbour, even though the culture of the soil was the same in every respect, and the only difference was that the ground was sown with old wheat. Another year followed, and it presented the same appearance—shrivelled in the groin, and the straw very weak and brittle. The result was, I tried it last season with some seed wdicat of some three years’ old (if I may use the term), and strange to say I reaped a plentiful harvest—and, for grain and' straw, my crop was unequalled. Many farmers have suffered from the distemper destroying their crops, and who under the title of rust, believed the distemper incurable. Secondly, I would advise my brother farmers to burn the stubble before ploughing, and likewise not to sow the wheat (and not use wheat of less than two years old) too late; and lastly, to be sure never to roll it until the crop appears over ground. I have tried this, and found that I have extirpated the rust from my fields.—L. D. o‘Byan, Drumeaue Farm Woolert.
