Results of Examination. 



So far as known to the Experiment Station, 

 no goods were shipped under this brand. 

 It was registered to take care of certain 

 lots of Standard Wheat ^ Middlings 

 shipped by the Commercial Milling Com- 

 pany and guaranteed to carry 16 per 

 cent, protein, which on examination were 

 found to fall short of that guarantee. 



Of 3 official samples, one was up to guar- 

 antee in protein; one was nearly 2 per 

 cent, and the third slightly over 2 per 

 cent, below. The sample that was up in 

 protein was examined for fiber and fat and 

 found in accord with guarantee in both. 

 2 samples were examined for weed seeds; 

 none were found. 



The only official sample obtained was found 

 in accord with guarantee in protein, fiber 

 and fat. It contained a few hulls of corn 

 cockle and wild buckwheat. 



Two official samples were both up to guar- 

 antee in protein and fat. Both carried 

 the 1914 fiber guarantee of 8 per cent. 

 They ran considerably in excess of that 

 figure in fiber. One of them was in ac- 

 cord with the 1915 guarantee of 10 per 

 cent.; the other slightly over ran it.
