Abstract
“THE History of a Grain of Wheat from the Seedbed to the Breakfast-table” formed the subject of the concluding evening discourse given by Sir Daniel Hall at the Cardiff meeting of the British Association, and an account of it appeared in the October issue of the journal of the Ministry of Agriculture. Of all industries there is not one which is older, more universal, or more essential than the growing, grinding, and baking of wheat and its kindred food-grains. Yet, in spite of the extreme age of the industry, the various processes involved in the passage of the wheat-grain from its seed-bed to the breakfast-table still demand the close attention of the best obtainable research men of the day; for it is only by research and by the utilisation of the results so obtained that the increased food production necessary for supplying the needs of the world's growing population can be attained.
