Because of the persistent Inquiries
relative TO the merits and dsm srits OF
the wheat known locally as Alaska
the Idaho experiment stItiOn has
given the wheat a milling test and
subjected the flour so obtained tt
chemical examination and baking
tests. The results of these tests, to
gether with such other information
concerning the wheat as could be
gathered from reliable sources, have
Just been published in bulletin form.
The wheat is apparently of the same
variety that is known in southern Eu-
rope as Poulard, or Egyptian. 1t IS
used there for making macaroni and
other pastes, and the -four made from
it is said to be in demand by certain
French markets.
Under field conditions the wheat
has not made any phenomenal yields,
averaging this year perhaps no better
than ordinar,' winter wheat The kerr
nels are large and plump and compare
favorably in appearance with much Ct
the wheat that is raised in northern
Idaho; because of their size and shape
they are easily broken. however, and
care must be exercised in threshing to
prevent this.
The results of the milling tests
show that no particular difficulty is
met with in grinding the wheat. The
-four secured is described as sharp
and granular. and is capable of max
ing an excellent quality of biscuits,
mullins. cakes. etc. When made into
light bread. color, favor, texture and
size OF loaf were noted. In color the
bread was darker than that baked
from Turkey red. but decidedly
lighter than that baked from little
club -four. Flavor and texture were
pronounced good In size the loaves
we're inferior to those baked from
Turkey red, but compared very favor
ably in this respect with those baked
from little club -four The bulletin
NAV be secured by addressing the Elk
pertinent Station, Moscow.
