Abstract	In this discussion an attempt has been made to examine critically a few pertinent objectives and to emphasize their importance in breeding for yield and other agronomic characters in wheat Obviously, much basic research is needed if we hope to solve many of the problems involved and expect to synthesize new wheats effectively and intelligently Future demands and new developments in technic and methods, no doubt, will create new objectives and help attain some of the present ones In the meantime, as more information is obtained and used, new varieties will be released that are superior in yield, winterhardiness, specific adaptation, and other characters Such improvements reflect, not the final goal in wheat breeding, but definite progress towards the attainment of desired objectives
