Experiments with wheat at the Dominion Experimental Farm, Brandon, Manitoba : a summary, 1889-1923 / by W.C. McKillican. : A12-2/42-1924E-PDF
"The growing of wheat has been the principal business of Manitoba ever since this province passed from the fur trading stage and developed into an agricultural section. ... It has, therefore, been the duty of an Experimental Farm serving such a province to conduct experiments with wheat in order to find and prove varieties suitable for the soil and climate and to determine the best methods of preparing the soil and handling the crop so as to get the most profitable results. As much of the work that has been done in the past is in danger of being forgotten, and its value lost, it is the purpose of the writer to bring together in this bulletin in concise form a summary of the experimental work done with wheat by his predecessors and by himself and assistants"--p. [3].
