Determinations of test weight per bushel, weight per 1000 kernels and oil content made on 146 samples of Western Canadian flaxseed, 119 of which graded No. 1 C.W., 16 No. 2 C.W. and 11 No. 3 C.W., revealed that while the grades were differentiated in regard to test weight per bushel and weight per 1000 kernels, the mean oil contents for the three grades were not significantly different. Test weight per bushel is of little significance as an index of oil content. While the degree of association of weight per thousand kernels with oil content is somewhat closer, it is not sufficiently high to permit satisfactory prediction of this variable. |
