Cereal Year 1st August, 1933, to 31st July, 1934 |
3.5% |
|
Cereal Year 1st August, 1934, to 31st July, 1935 |
10.75% |
|
Cereal Year 1st August, 1935, to 31st August, 1936 |

The prescribed percentage of home-grown wheat must be milled within the cereal year, but there is no obligation on a miller to include home-grown wheat in all flour milled by him.
