Saunders, Experimentalist, Dominion Experimental Farms; Before the Select Standing Committee on Agriculture and Colonization, 1905 Besides improving wheat, we have of course endeavoured to improve our varieties, by cressing and selection, and this work has given rise to a number of new sorts. I have referred already to the introduction of Ladoga wheat, and to the crosses which were made between that variety and Red and White Fife, the object being to combine, as far as possible, the quality of the Fife wheats with the earliness of the Ladoga. Among these cross-bred sorts Preston, Stanley, Huron, and Percy are attracting most attention, and I have here samples of the our of two or three of these varieties.
