In the means taken from Konig as given above the amount of water as found is given. 



The means of the other constituents, however, in order to secure a proper comparision are calculated 

 on the supposition that the mean content of water is the same as that in the chief or miscellaneous 

 table, namely, 13.37 per cent. 



In the discussion of the comparative results, it will be noticed first, 

 as with other cereals, that the content of moisture in the domestic 

 samples is low, being about 1 per cent less than in the Canadian sam- 

 ples and eight-tenths of 1 per cent less than in all the foreign samples. 

 This remarkable dryness of cereal products appears, therefore, to be a 

 characteristic of those grown in the United States, although the differ- 

 ence is not so marked in the case of wheat as it is in some other cereals. 

 In general, the size of the grains of the domestic samples is less than 

 that of the Canadian and foreign wheats, but in the World's Fair sam-
