Ratio of Soluble Ash to Total Nitrogen and Shape of Loaf. — It is of interest to 

 note in the first place that the chemical data given in the subjoined table reveal no 

 differences or changes in those samples kept as flour. In two of the :three, the results 

 for' any particular flour for 1907, 1909 and 1911 are practically identical, and in the 

 third instance the figures for the first and last examination agree very well, indicating 

 that the 1909 data for this sample, from some cause, are not correct.

As witnessed in 1909, lower ratios were again obtained for the samples stored as 

 wheat than as flour, in such as were kept in both conditions. These differences are 

 probably attributable to milling, for, as already noticed, the ash in the flours milled 

 in 1909 and 1911, is considerably higher than that in the corresponding flours milled 

 in 1907. In those samples kept only as wheat, the agreement is fairly close. 



Slightly higher marks for shape of loaf are accorded by the Cerealist, than at 

 previous bakings, though in the larger number of cases the differences between the 

 1909 and the 1911 figures are slight. 



As stated in our comments on the 1909 results, there is no evidence that there 

 exists a relationship between the ' ratio of soluble ash to total nitrogen ' and shape of 

 loaf.
