Saunders, who was director of the Ottawa Experimental Farm for many years. Wheat selecâ€" tion experiments had been carried out there from 1888, but toward the close of the past century the small staff were so ovérâ€"taxed that little was done in this direction but keeping the crossed strains alive. The Early Experiments In 1903 Dr. Charlese E. Saunders was appointed to the station as cerealâ€" ist. He inherited with the position: the experimental data and the \',a}rio‘us! strains.

For months he plodded patiently onâ€" wards, meeting with reverses at every turn. Samples of grain from all the wheat growing countries of the world were before him and numerous new varieties produced by erossâ€"breeding. Out of this mass.DPr.
