Extract

1. A reliable identification of grain samples of related wheat varieties of different grain values is of economic importance.

2. The distensometer test distinguishes with a high degree of reliability between Tuscan and Cross 7 grain, whereas eye inspection, baking and fermentation tests cannot be relied upon for differentiation between the two varieties.

3. A testing service for the use of farmers, grain merchants and millers would involve no technical difficulties.
