Samples Nos. 1628 and 1770 resemble whole corn quite closely, 

 except that the protein, ash, and crude fiber content are somewhat 

 higher than in this product. Considering the microscopical exami- 

 nation in connection witli the analysis, it would appear that these 

 samples consist of either corn-meal or whole corn, with an excess of 

 hulls and serins. Sample No. 1830 would appear, from the analysis, 

 to he the same kind of a product as the two just mentioned. 



The average composition of hominy chops, as given by Jenkins 

 and Winton, and also by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment 

 Station, 6 is as follows: 



TABLE 9. Average percentage composition of hominy chops. 

 [Compiled.] 



Samples Nos. 1535, 1785, and 1902 are all somewhat below the 

 average in fat and above the average in crude fiber, and the last two 

 are slightly below the average in protein. This tendency is not 

 sufficiently marked to indicate adulteration, but would seem to 

 show the presence of more hulls than are found in the average 

 sample. No. 1757 gives practically the same results as the samples 

 just mentioned. 



All of the samples examined, except two or three, show somewhat 

 low figures for fat, although not low enough in any case to give rise 

 to suspicion of intentional adulteration.
