kernel more force in grinding has to be used and more 
of the husk accordingly gets pulverised in the grinding. The Aus- 
tralian 27 yields also a white flour. Punjab Type9 yields a bright 
but very yellow flour. Gujar Khan onethat is yellow in slightly 
lesser degree. Pusa 6 is asregardscolour in a class by itself, for its 
very lively granular flour is neither white of chalky hue nor yellow, 
buta greyish white, which I associate with Canadian Fife wheat. 
Of the other three sorts not specifically mentioned in this para- 
graph, Punjab Type 16 yields flour of very good appearance as 
regards hue, medium between the chalky white of the Muzaffarnagar 
and the yellows of the Punjab Type 9 and Gujar Khan. A large 
number of British millers use artificial bleaching. In their hands 
the two last named would give good results as to colour. In some 
parts of England and in Ireland flour of chalky white hue is required, 
and for those purposes the sorts yielding such flour might be 
preferred, but my own preference as to colour would be Pusa 6 or 
Lal Kasar Wala, and this, I think, would be the verdict of most 
English millers. 
There are great differences between the ten as regards strength, 
by which I mean the capacity for making large shapely loaves. On 
this point Pusa 6 is pre-eminent. The loaves are not only larger, 
but whereas those from all the other flours have the appearance 
typical of Indian varieties, those from Pusa 6 have a quite different 
anda superior crust and generalappearance. Gujar Khan, Punjab 
Type 9 and Lal Kasar Wala are not far behind so far as size of loaf 
is concerned. Of the three Muzafiarnagars, the Pusa lot is distinct- 
ly the best, the Muzaffarnagar distinctly the worst, the Lyallpur 
lot occupies the middle position. The Punjab Types 14 and 16 
and Australian 27, are only poor on this point. 
As regardsthe stability of dough, in baking all are good. Pusa 
6 is the nearest approach tothe toughness which is associated with 
Canadian or American Spring Wheats, but that is not to be com- 
pared with those sorts, nor should I expect to find any wheats 
behaving in that way unless with great summer heat a high 
summer rainfall he associated.
