86 Environment and milling qualities. 



but British millers are not likely to pay an increased price sufficient 

 to compensate the grower for a substantially diminished yield. 

 Furthermore, British millers are in a better position than ever they 

 were to make the best use of any and every kind of wheat offered 

 them, provided widely differing kinds are sold separately and not 

 mixed together. 



It seems to me, that this year's results are most encouraging 

 to all concerned in the work. I have been compelled in handling 

 small quantities of wheat to use methods of milling inferior to those 

 used in ordinary milling plants worked commercially, but the bake- 

 house results I have obtained are astonishingly good as regards the 

 colour and general appearance of the bread obtained, and judged 

 on all points of quality any one of these wheats, Muzaffarnagar 

 included, provided the precautions I have specified are observed, 

 are on the whole much superior to those obtained from ordinary 

 Indian wheats milled on a commercial scale, and as we have seen, 

 the newer varieties are superior for bread making to Muzafrarnagar. 

 I should especially like to see Pusa 4 tested extensively, and the 

 cause for its small black spot blemish investigated. On balance 

 of points, I selected it from last year's set of samples for special 

 comparison with Manitoba wheat, and most certainly it is a variety 

 which should be carefully watched and tested as one of several 

 .likely to be very useful in providing first class and much improved 

 wheat for export to Great Britain."

The 29th November 1911. 



Several very interesting results are to be found in this report 

 which it is proposed to deal with briefly. The first relates to the 

 tests of the Muzaffarnagar samples which are summed up in the table 

 following (see page 87). These behaved in 1911 practically like those
