The Drop Testing Piao article by BA G L Strange outlines methods used to assess wheat quality through drop testing. It details procedures, tools, and the role of the director in supervising experiments and recording outcomes.
Our farmers owe much to Canadian agricultural scientists for developing higher yield and quality grains and livestock. A new resilient wheat variety is promised to protect against saw flies, saving millions in losses. 20 million bushels were lost this year. Despite crucial work, scientists are low paid. Governments should raise remuneration to retain talent critical for competing in world markets. The piece notes 1943–44 wheat shipments, world supply projections, and farming trends including UK, Germany, Argentina, and Australia crop movements.
The article reviews efforts to combine sawfly resistance with high baking quality in hard red spring wheat. It traces past crosses of New Zealand bread wheats with Renown Thatcher and Apex, the testing of hybrids against rusts and drought, and notes a few strains showing promise for future distribution pending further tests.
