Abstract
A rapid method of estimating the moisture in a sample of wheat is described. This method depends on the effect produced in a specially arranged radio circuit in which an alternating current of high frequency is generated. When a container holding some of the wheat under examination is introduced into the rapidly alternating electric field, a change occurs in the strength of the current which may be measured by an ammeter in the circuit and which may be immediately interpreted as a measure of the moisture content of the wheat.
