I find great difficulty in answering your question as to the 
relative money values of these ten Indian wheats and Canadian 
and American grades. Canada and the U. 8. A. grow some poor 
weak wheats, and I would certainly pay as high or even a_ higher 
price for any of the ten as I would for Canadian Winters, 
or for the wheats grown on the Pacific slope of the U.S. A., or for 
most of the U.S. A. winter wheat shipped as they are with all 
their uncertainties as to grading, but these Indians are quite 
different to Canadian or U. 8. A. Spring wheats, and are not 
comparable with them. So long as the world grows so much 
more weak wheat than strong wheat, and so long as millers are 
compelled to supply flours of good or great strength, wheats 
capable of yielding flour from which tough, stable doughs and big 
loaves can be made will command a large premium. 
Some authorities measure strength by the number of loaves a 
given quantity of flour will produce, but a reliable opinion cannot 
be formed on this point on small lots such as you sent me. It is, 
however, quite safe to say that the better of your ten would rank 
high on this poimt. The relative value of Indian wheats has 
already gone up a great deal as a result of improved cleaning and 
oreater reliability in quality, and if wheats as good in intrinsic 
quality, as well grown, as clean and as dry as say the first six on 
my last list are shipped here from India, the growers can rely on a 
still further increase in their relative value in competition with the 
wheats of the world.

It will be seen from this report that the four best wheats 
from a milling and baking point of view are hardwheats. Further, 
these varieties are also hardy wheats, good yielders and with good 
straw and in two cases at least with considerable resistance torust. 
The soft wheats such as Muzaffarnagar white are, comparatively 
speaking, inferior wheats.
