George Wright raised about 900 bushels
of grain. Darcy Station, in Barnes county is
his nearest market place. Three elevat ors dc
business there, the Cargil, Christian Bros. and
Northern Dakota companies. He hauled his
first load to the Cargill elevator; and states
that he was paid for No 1 hard grade. After
he had surrendered his second or third load
he was informed by the agent that orders
had been received from headquarters to only
give him No. 2 Northern grade for the rest
of his wheat, as the grain would not hold tc
the first grade. AS the grain all came from
the same seed, out of the same field, Wright
refused to accept the No. 2 instruction, and
took load to Hannaford, n station just
north of Darcy, where there is small ware
house. No. hard was allowed him for the
first load, but by the time the second
load arrived the grade was cut the same Of
at Darcy. Wright again declined to give up
his wheat, and, reloading, hauled it back to
the Christian Bros. at Darcy. The first load
went No. hard, as usual-the same wheat
that had been graded No. 2 Northern. All
the rest he brought, however, con instruc-
ti0ns," would only grade No. 2. Wright then
ordered cars to ship his owl wheat, which
was all sold for No. hard.
