This diagram shows the variation in weight per bushel of soft red 

 winter, durum, hard red winter, and hard red spring wheats, and 

 also the variation in flour yield for the different ranges in weight 

 per bushel. 



It will be noted from figure 9 that as between classes there seems 

 to be little relation between weight per bushel and milling yield. 

 To illustrate: Although the durum samples averaged highest in

Fig. 9. — Diagram showing the relation between the weight per bushel and the flour 

 yield of four important commercial classes of wheat. The samples represent the 

 crops of 1008 to 1913, inclusive, except those of soft red winter wheat, of which 

 are included samples of the crops of 1911, 1912, and 1913 only. 



weight per bushel, the average flour yield is next to the lowest, and 

 spring wheat although lowest in weight per bushel is next to the 

 highest in average flour yield. 



These variations in the relation of weight per bushel to flour yield 

 among the several classes seem to be associated with differences in 

 the shape, size, and density of kernels and perhaps also the thickness 

 of the bran, any or all of which may be varietal characteristics or
