Muzaffamagars. 



All these five lots are typical of the variety, and I need not 

 describe them in detail. In previous years, I have received among 

 a larger number of Muzaffarnagar samples, consignments raised at 

 the five centres from which this year's sample lots came. Judged 

 by appearance and aided by reference to former reports I find the 

 following interesting comparisons can be made concerning the order 

 of merit in each season : — 



In 1909, the samples represented great differences in money 

 value. In 1910, those differences were much smaller. This year 

 they are again relatively small. The Cawnpore lot is of very 

 pleasing appearance, very good indeed of its kind. Pusa is not 

 much behind it in appearance. The Lyallpur lot was dirty, but apart 

 from that unfortunate and presumably avoidable blemish it is sub- 

 stantially as good in appearance as the Aligarh and Bankipore lots. 

 This variety should not be heavily conditioned, and if that precau- 

 tion be observed, it can be milled satisfactorily. There was no 

 appreciable difference between the five lots concerning that stage of 

 my investigation. Judged by their behaviour in the bakehouse, the 

 differences are substantial but not great. Cawnpore and Pusa are 

 very close together at the top, Bankipore and Lyallpur at the 

 bottom, so that their relative values, judged by appearance, are 

 a correct index of their baking values. 



The Lyallpur loaves possessed a crust characteristic of Rivet 

 wheat, one of our commonest English varieties, and more nearly 

 resembled the ordinary Kurrachee wheats of commerce than any 

 other sample. From this remark it may be inferred that the other 

 four lots are superior in baking value to ordinary Kurrachee wheat.
