TABLE 9. Summary of analyses of plants, arranged according to percentage of proteid 



nitrogen. Crop of 1903. 



Table 10 shows the analyses of the crop of 1903 arranged on the 

 basis of weight of average kernel. Determinations of gliadin and 

 glutenin were made in these analyses and the sums of these are 

 inserted in this table. a All plants having an average kernel weight 



a Determinations of gliadin and glutenin were made by methods practically the same as 

 those described by Prof. Harry Snyder in Bulletin No. 63 of the Minnesota Experiment 

 Station, except that smaller quantities were used.
