The bran particle count varied from 19 to 133, the hair count from 
1 to 34, and the total offal count from 20 to 162. The average count 
for bran particles was 49 and that for hairs 20 ; while the average total 
offal count amounted to 70. 
PATENT FLOURS BILLED FROM BLENDED WHEATS. 
The flours classified under blends were manufactured from mix- 
tures of hard and soft wheats. Similar information was obtained for 
these flours as for the hard and soft types. The designations for 
the so-called grades varied from 70 to 85 per cent. Of the 12 sam- 
ples examined. 4 were bleached and 8 unbleached. Table 18 gives 
the results.
