Bankifore Wheats. 

 In this case also appearances and the milling and baking results 

 agree. The differences though appreciable are not so great as in the 

 former cases, and each sample is pale in flour. 

 The order of merit is —

 Muzaffarnagar. 



Ly all/pur Wheats. 

 Believing that this centre represents a district in which a large 

 quantity of Muzaffarnagar is grown, I have been curious to see how 

 the comparison would come out. When examining these wheats by 

 appearance, I dictated the following note : — 



' ' Muzaffarnagar is the best looking, the others are so dingy and 

 generally poor, that on appearance nobody would give more for 

 them. They may be slightly stronger, but from appearance 

 Muzaffarnagar is the best wheat grown at this station, and there is 

 practically nothing between the others. ' ' I shall be glad to learn in 

 due course whether the climatic conditions during harvesting or 

 threshing were alike for all four varieties ; whether for instance the 

 Muzaffarnagar ripened earlier or later than the others, and so 

 escaped some bad weather from which the others suffered ; 

 alternately whether they were threshed under comparable conditions. 

 If the former alternative be the reason why the three new varieties 

 appear to be relatively poor in appearance, it will be interesting to 

 know whether the unfavourable conditions are likely to occur in 

 other seasons, or whether they are merely an accident of the last one. 

 In the milling processes Muzaffarnagar is rather better than 

 Pusa 8, but inferior to Pusa 12 and Pusa 22. In the bakehouse 

 the effects of superior breed triumph, as they usually do, over other 

 influences under such conditions as these, so on baking results the 

 order of merit is this : — 



Pusa 12. 



Pusa 22.
