THE EFFECT OF WINTER EXPOSURE IN THE STOOK ON QUALITY OF WHEAT
Samples of wheat were exposed in the stook over winter and threshed in the spring in two seasons. These spring-threshed samples were compared with check samples from the same lots that had been threshed in the fall. The exposed samples lost grade in 50% of the cases, and decreased in weight per bushel in practically all cases. The flour yield was generally increased slightly as a result of the winter exposure. In respect to baking quality 22% showed improvement and 40% showed damage. The changes in grade and bushel weight do not correspond very closely with changes in baking behavior.
