MITTEE OF THE INCORPORATED NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BrI- 
TISH AND IrRtsH MILLERS ON THE TEN SAMPLES OF INDIAN 
WHEAT SENT FROM Pusa IN 1908. 
I duly received, wa Calcutta or Kurrachee, the ten sample lots 
of various wheats grown in India, upon which the Agricultural 
Department of the Indian Government wished me to report, and in 
accordance with the arrangement arrived at with you, I have cleaned, 
conditioned, milled and baked each lot separately and have 
done each operation in duplicate. 
I have regarded the whole matter from the standpoint of a 
3ritish miller and am accustomed to buy Indian wheats on a com- 
mercial basis for the manufacture of flour to be used in England,
