export, and I find that Bankipore and Dumraon arc in that category 

 and that Tharsa, Raipur and Orai, if they furnish any at all for that 

 purpose, are likely to provide only relatively small quantities. It, 

 therefore, appears from my information that the likely exporters 

 of substantial quantities are as follows. Alongside each name, I 

 have placed its marks for ' strength ' (average of A, B, C methods 

 of baking).

If the growers and merchants of the Indus Valley will send their 

 wheats to our markets in a cleaner state than the samples I have 

 received from Lyallpur and Grurdaspur, I see no reason why, for 

 commercial purposes, the produce from the districts named in the 

 Karachi list should be sold here separately, but if the wheat 

 from the Punjab, when shipped on a commercial scale, will be as 

 unsightly as the two samples named, the produce from the other 

 districts should be marketed separately. The former will require 

 much time to establish the reputation they deserve in this country, 

 but for the latter with their fine appearance, enhanced prices may 

 be expected on their first arrival. 



It is obvious that there is no reason for marketing the Pusa 

 and Partabgarh wheats separately. 



In Bulletin 22, issued in 1911 by the Agricultural Research 

 Institute, Pusa, a coloured photograph of three loaves baked by me 

 was included, and I was asked to provide a similar photograph 

 showing a loaf made from the Lyallpur lot of Pusa 12, alongside a 

 loaf produced from No. 2 Northern Manitoba and another from 

 Choice White Karachi. I had made several trials with this Lyall- 

 pur wheat, and, in doing so, had used up the whole of the lot sent 

 me, so as the Gurdaspur wheat, of which I had some left, was similar 

 though slightly inferior to the Lyallpur, 1 made a further test and 

 had the photograph taken which is reproduced herewith. It was
