During tlie season 1907-08, Miizaftarnagar white, (T. vul- 

 gare Vill. var. graecum Kcke.) a weak soft white type obtained 

 from Muzai^arnagar was grown at three stations, Lyallpur, Muzaf- 

 farnagar and Piisa. At Lyallpur and Muzaffarnagar the wheat 

 was grown under canal irrigation while at Piisa it was raised on 

 the moisture left in the soil from the previous monsoon. Both iu 

 appearance, consistency, nitrogen content and milhng and baking 

 value the three resulting samples varied widely as will be seen 

 from the following table : — 



Consistency, composition mid baking value of Muzaffarnagar white 

 grown at three stations in 1907-1908. 



The great differences between the Piisa grown sample and 

 the other two suggested the desirability of repeating the tests on 

 a wider basis and accordingly a fresh supply of Muzaffarnagar 

 white seed was obtained by one of us from Muzaffarnagar and 

 arrangements were made to grow it under normal conditions on 

 typical wheat land at the following stations — Piisa, Bankipore, 

 Dumraon, Partabgarh, Cawnpore, Orai, Aligarh, Meerut and 

 Lyallpur. The sample contained 90% soft grains and 10% hard. 

 It will be seen from the accompanying map that these stations 

 represent most of the important wheat-growing tracts. Piisa is
