About the Protein
Content of Wheat

The protein content or wheat de-
penda upon the variety s0wn and up-
on moisture and soil conditions ana
not upon the percentage Of protein in
the seed used, says W. o. Whitcemb,
superintendent Of the Graia Inspection
Laboratory at Afontana state College.
There seems 60 be . gensrai lmpEes-
sion aEnong farmers that Il H. neeea-

Gee bet is to 9zhnt seed Of these va
Hetfes regardless of whether the seed
has a high protein content or not
Not ali wheat oS high protein con-
tent brings a premium, says Mr- Whit
comb. The quality Of the protein Is
Just as important as the quantity.
High protein Marquis and supreme
wheat produces a flour which best
meets the demands OF the millers and
therefore such wheat brings prem
ium. On the other hand there are
other wheats which may even have a
higher percentage OF protein than
these two varieties but which do not
bring as high premium. Mr.. Whit
comb illustrates this point with the
Variety known as Kota, which often
coDtaiaa a high protein content but
which Is regarded as inferior to Mar
quls and Supreme by mlllers and there
fore commands lower premium or no
premium at all. Durum wheat also
contains much protein but in this case
the wheat gluten Is too tough for ordi-
nary baking purposes and, such wheat
does not bring a premium. Another
wheat known as Burbank's Quality is
reputed to have high protein content
but actually is low in protein and be
ing a white wheat 1t is used largely
for making crackers and pastry.
Nor is there any outstanding diff
ference between seed wheat produced
On Irrigated or dry land. says Mr.
Whitcomb. If soil and growing con-
iitions are favorable one win produce
lust as high quality wheat as the other
rhe important factor for farmers to
consider in this respect at this time Is
hat irrigated wheat may contain
much moisture and this wheat may be
