SPRING CEREALS AT MOEO, OREG. 
23 
months after harvest, and the flour was made into bread about two 
weeks after milling. Miss H. L. Wessling, of the Plant Chemical 
Laboratory, conducted the baking experiments. 
It will be observed from the analyses and photographs of loaves 
that all of the varieties appear to be equally as good as, and most of 
them better than, the Pacific Bluestem, which is the standard spring 
wheat of the Columbia Basin. All the samples from which the flour 
was made were from the varietal plats and therefore were grown under 
similar conditions.
