nifty the grade such wheat shall be if cleaned in
public warehouse under statesupervision.
There shah be placed in each public ware
house an Inspector, whose duty it shall be
to supervise the cleaning OF such grain as
may come into such house marked ''to
clean by track Inspectors. Such Inspectors
will determine, by actual test with suitable
cleaning apparatus the average amount OF
dirt and foul seed per bushel that it will be
| necessary to remove from such lot OF grain
to prepare it for the grade which such track
inspector has fixed upon the same. After
: such test, carefully made, he shall state

housemen during such tests, and in case
the person representing the warehousemen
cannot agree upon shrinkage in any lot OF
grain, such lot Of grain shall be Immediate

warehouse man will be responsible to clean
such gcain and make it fit and suitable for
the grade fixed upon it by the track inspect

the request OF the owner thereof Theware-
housenlan shall receive one-haf cent per
bushel for such cleaning. In inspecting
wheat on the track not consigned or de-
sisnated for storage in public warehouse
that has not been properly cleaned, the in

suitable appliances the average amount OF
dirt and foul seed per bushel that it will be
necessary to remove from such lot OF grain
to prepare it for the grade which the said
inspector has fixed upon the same. After
such test, carefully made, he shall state
upon the inspection ticket the number OF
