tained over 60 per cent more nitrogen than the other.* The 

 table which follows contains the results of the analyses of 16 

 samples of spring wheat grown in northern Maine (Aroostook 

 county). Twelve samples of hard spring wheat grown in the 

 northwest have recently been analyzed at the Station. These 

 results are given in the table for purposes of comparison. In 

 this table is also given the average of 25 analyses of Minneapolis 

 wheats reported by the Minnesota Experiment Station. As 

 there reported, the protein was calculated by using the factor 

 6.25. It is here recalculated, using ^.'j as a factor.
