Bluestem. The results are presented in Tables 60 and 66. The data 
show Galgalos to compare very favorably with the other white 
wheats. It considerably exceeds the Pacific Bluestem in crude pro- 
tein content and slightly exceeds it in test weight per bushel and 
yield of flour. It is outstandingly higher in water absorption, vol- 
ume, weight, texture, and color of loaf. In all respects the Gal- 
galos variety is a good milling and bread-making wheat.

Goldcoin. — The. Groldeorn variety, known also as Fortyfold. No. 6. 
and by many other names, is one of the oldest varieties of white 
wheat grown in the United States. It apparently has been grown 
under one name er another since 1840. but under the names Goldcoin 
and Fortyfold only since about 1890. It is a winter wheat and i- 
grown both in the eastern and western United States. In the West 
it is almost always called Fortyfold. In Xew York it is often 
called Xo. 6. The heads are beardless and distinctly clubbed at the 
tip. The glumes are glabrous and brown, and the kernels are very 
soft. In 1919 nearly 1.000.000 acres of Goldcoin. under one or 
another of the several names, were grown in the United States, and 
it is second in importance among the common white wheats. It is 
most important in Washington. Xew York. Oregon. Michigan, and 
Idaho. Goldcoin appears to be well adapted to the section around 
Spokane. Wash., and to parts of the upper Columbia Basin section 
of Oregon, but in other sections is outyielded by other varieties of 
better quality. 
Fifty-two samples of Goldcoin have been milled and baked. 
the most of which were obtained from commercial sources in the 
western United States. Twelve of these samples were obtained from 
experiment stations in Washington. Oregon, and Utah during the 
four years 1918 to 1921, inclusive, and can be directly compared 
with samples of the Pacific Bluestem variety grown under the same 
conditions except that the Bluestem was sometimes grown from 
spring sowing. The results from these comparable samples are 
shown in Table 67. The data show the Goldcoin variety to exceed 
Pacific Bluestem in test weight per bushel, but to average consider-
