of hard winter wheat, all of which were grown in the same locality 

 in the State of Missouri. Loaf a is from a sample of soft red winter 

 wheat, and its volume of 1,935 cubic centimeters is about the average 

 for this class; loaf b is from a sample of hard red winter wheat of 



low strength, the vol- 

 ume being recorded 

 as 2,075 cubic centi- 

 meters ; while loaves 

 c, d, and e are from 

 samples of soft red 

 winter wheat which 

 were somewhat below 

 the average strength, 

 the volumes being 

 1,815, 1,785, and 1,715 

 cubic centimeters, re- 

 spectively. 



In figure 14 loaf a is 

 from a sample of hard 

 red winter (Turkey) 

 wheat which is considerably above the average for this class ; in fact, 

 its volume of 2,445 is about the average for spring wheat. Loaves b 

 and c are from soft red winter samples and are very close to the 

 average volume for this class. 



Fig. 14. — Cross sections of loaves of bread made from a 

 high-strength hard red winter wheat and two soft red 

 winter wheat samples of about average strength for 

 this class. Loaf a, hard red winter, volume 2,445 cubic 

 centimeters, texture 96 ; ~b, soft red winter, volume 

 1,950, texture 88.5 ; and e, soft red winter, volume 

 1,960, texture 89. 



Fig. 15. — Cross sections of loaves of bread made from hard red spring and hard red 

 winter wheat. Loaf a, hard red spring, volume 2,615 cubic centimeters, texture 

 95.5 ; 6, hard red winter, volume 2.240, texture 94.5 ; c, hard red spring, volume 

 2,720, texture 94.5 ; d, hard red winter, volume 2,460, texture 94. 



Figure 15 affords a comparison of loaves from hard red winter 

 and hard red spring wheat. Loaves a and c are from hard red 

 spring wheat and are considerably above the average, their volumes 

 being 2,615 and 2,720 cubic centimeters, respectively. They repre- 

 sent, however, the results commonly attained with the stronger 

 wheats of this class. Loaves b and d are from hard red winter
