26 AMERICAN WHEAT AND CORN. 



13.76 and 12.84 per cent, of albuminoids, and two are white wheats con- 

 taining only 8.25 and 9.69 per cent. From these results it would seein 

 that the hard wheats are more able to collect nitrogen than the soft 

 white varieties, and as the specimens from Oregon have been all of the 

 latter kind, the low percentage of nitrogen may be due to that fact. 

 It would be of interest to examine a hard red wheat grown in that State. 



ADDITIONAL ANALYSES. 



Allusion has been made to the collection of analyses of cereals by 

 Professor Brewer in his report to the Census of 1880.* Such of the 

 wheat analyses as have not been inserted in the previous bulletin are 

 here published for the purpose of presenting, as a whole, all analyses 

 which have been made of American specimens.
