12 AMERICAN WHEAT AND CORN. 



EXPLANATION OF THE ANALYSES. 



Ill the previous bulletin the analyses included determinations of 

 water, ash, oil, fiber, and albuminoids. During the past year the de- 

 terminations of oil and fiber have been omitted, as the slight variations 

 which have been found to occur are of less importance in the considera- 

 tion of the value of the grain, and as the data already obtained are 

 quite sufficient for this purpose. The determination of the albuminoids 

 in connection with the size and condition of the wheat settle, as far as a 

 chemical and physical examination can succeed, the peculiarities of the 

 samples in hand. 



THE RESULTS. 



The results are presented in the following tables, arranged in the 

 same manner as in previous reports. There is also a table giving such 

 analyses of wheats from other sources as were not included in the pre- 

 vious bulletin.
