No exact information was available on the relation of kernel density 

 to milling yield when the same general system of milhng was followed 

 in all cases. There were on file in this laboratory several hundred wheat 

 samples which had been analysed, and milled in a 5-break and 8 to 11 

 reduction system. From these were selected at random twenty-two 

 samples of both hard red spring and hard rod winter (Turkey Red)
