Goulden was for many years in charge of the breeding of cereals at the Federal Rust Research Laboratory in Winnipeg. Goulden became known internationally as an investigator and author in the field of statistics particularly as applied to biological and agricultural problems. As Chief of the Division of Cereals of the Canada Department of Agriculture, Goulden directed research on cereal crops conducted by that department throughout the country, and influences all similar work in other institutions.
