Never Died" II describes the joys
and heartaches the two endured
during their seven-year marriage.

In July, 1919, 20 years after their
first meeting Walter White and
Poppy Cannon were married.
She writes that even though
White never admitted II, she knew
that their marriage added to his
problems in the NAACP. Powerful

When White and Poppy were

the variation in results probably would
be cut in half.
Protein content of wheat will diff
fer from kernel to kernel. from
plant to plant, from field to field,
within the field, from truck load to
truck load, within each truck load,
and from combine to combine.
Therefore, the biggest causes for
variation in protein test results are
inaccurate sampIing and mixing

Only one gram of wheat is actually

truck so the sample will be represen-
