In 1894, the OhioExperiment Stationmade a study of numer-ous varieties of oats. Itwas found that withsixty-nine varieties thehulls constituted to per cent ofthe whole grain, the aver-age being 30 per did not appear, con-trary to the generalopinion, that the pro-portion of hull was largerwith light oats than withheavy, although observa-tions elsewhere have sustained the popular view. At theMustiala Agricultural College twenty-eight samples ofFinnish oats and twenty samples from five other coun-tries gave from 28 to 32 per cent of hulls.
