DISCUSSION OF RESULTS.

States grain i s higher in protein than the foreign. In the case of rye, 

 the production value also is higker. The domestic samples, also, 

 though analyzed in three different years, agree more closely with each 

 other than they do with the foreign-grown grain. 



From an examination of Table XLII, page 57, it will be seen that the 

 rye with the highest protein content is a sample of Ivanov, grown in 

 Kansas in 1905 (Xo. 1070), the total protein amounting to 17.44 

 pounds per 100 pounds, or 14.65 pounds digestible. The three sam- 

 ple^ with the highest protein content represent each of the varieties 

 examined and were grown in the States of Kansas and Nebraska, the 

 total protein in these three samples being for No. 1070, 17.44 pouncjs; 

 for No. losj. It;. 1 1 pounds: and for No. 1076, 15.62 pounds per hun- 

 dred pounds. The digestible protein equals 14.65 pounds, 13.81 

 pound-, and i:;.TJ pound-, respectively. The nutritive ratios of these 

 samples are the narrowest of all the samples, being 1 : 5.0, 5.4, and 5.8, 

 respectively.
