The former is fibrous and tough, and the latter soft with very little fiber. The hull forms a con- siderable portion of the grain. In 1894, the Ohio Experiment Station made a study of niuner- ous varieties of oats. It was found that with sixty-nine varieties the hulls constituted from to per cent of the whole grain, the aver- age being 30 per cent. It did not appear, con- trary to the general opinion, that the pro- portion of hull was larger with hght oats than with heavy, although observa- tions elsewhere have sustained the popular view. At the Mustiala Agricultural College twenty-eight samples of Finnish oats and twenty samples from five other coun- tries gave from 28 to 32 per cent of hulls. Wiley states that the average proportion of hull to kernel is as three to seven, which varies with locality. The figures in the next table show the composition of the dry matter of whole oats, oat hulls, and the hulled kernel:. Fig. 14.
