*  Denotes  white  wheat,  and  it  is  obvious  from  this  table  that  white  wheat  heads  the  list, 
as  far  as  size  of  the  grain  is  concerned, 
f  Northwest  probably. 
It  would  be  erroneous,  however,  to  base  a  commercial  valuation 
of  wheat  (outside  of  appearance)  solely  upon  the  weight  of  the 
grain,  and  the  . second  part  of  the  paper  will  demonstrate  some  addi- 
tional considerations  that  lead  us  to  modify  the  results  of  such  a 
valuation. 
From  the  foregoing  list  the  two  following  tables  are  abstracted : 
I— AVERAGE  WEIGHT  OF  WHEAT  FROM  EACH  COUNTRY.

II— AVERAGE  WEIGHT  OF  THE  HEAVIEST  SAMPLE  FROM  EACH  COUNTRY.
