The bran particle count varied from 19 to 133, the hair count from 

 1 to 34, and the total offal count from 20 to 162. The average count 

 for bran particles was 49 and that for hairs 20, while the average total 

 offal count amounted to 70. 



PATENT FLOURS MILLED FROM BLENDED WHEATS. 



The flours classified under blends were manufactured from mix- 

 tures of hard and soft wheats. Similar information was obtained for 

 these flours as for the hard and soft types. The designations for 

 the so-called grades varied from 70 to 85 per cent. Of the 12 sam- 

 ples examined, 4 were bleached and 8 unbleached. Table 18 gives 

 the results.
