Much compositional data on wheat exist in the literature but they either do not give the comparisons or varieties and cultural conditions that are most useful, or else the data cover too few of the chemical constituents. To remedy this deficiency the Northern Regional Research Laboratory early in its existence arranged with the Bureau of Plant Industry, Soils, and Agricultural Engineering, U. S. Department of Agriculture for suitable samples of wheat on which to make a compositional study. The data on the physical characteristics and chemical composition are grouped, first to show differences between varieties grown under comparable conditions and, second to show differences between samples of the same variety grown under different environments. Some of the data were suitable for statistical analysis and were analyzed to evaluate the effect of variety, location, and crop year on composition, and these results are presented and discussed separately.
