SUMMARY OF MILLING AND BAKING DATA OX THE VARIETIES OF HARD RED SPRING 
WHEAT. 
Table 25 and Figure 3 give a summary of the milling and baking 
data on 15 varieties of hard red spring wheat expressed in percent- 
ages of the average data of the comparable samples of Marquis. 
The percentages given are those shown for each variety in Tables 
11 to 24. inclusive. 
In volume of loaf, the principal factor in bread-making quality. 
Marquis excels all other varieties. In yield of straight flour, the 
most important milling factor. Marquis is exceeded by eight varie- 
ties. Prelude, Xorka, and Kota. in the order named, show the 
highest flour yields. In crude protein. Xorka, Prelude, Pioneer. 
Kota. and Ruby show the highest comparative crude protein content, 
and the same varieties are among the highest in test weight per 
bushel. Only two varieties exceeded Marquis in color of loaf 
and five varieties in texture of loaf. Xorka. Kota. Prelude, and Ruby 
show relatively high ash content of flour, which is disadvantageous. 
Considering all milling and baking factors. Marquis is without 
doubt the best variety. Prelude, Pioneer. Ruby, and Kota. however, 
are only slightly inferior to Marquis and are closely followed by 
the varieties Kitchener, Red Fife, Glyndon, Haynes Bluestem. 
Power, and Preston. The varieties Chul, Xorka, and Ghirka are not 
suitable for the making of bread of high quality.
