AT special meeting of the directors
of the Board of Trade Friday, all the ar
rangements were made for the appoint.
ment of deputy grain inspector for the
Wichita market.
After the most thorough examination
and test that it was possible to be made
to secure a man that would fill the re-
quirments of grain inspector of so i'm
portant point as Wichita will be as a
grain market the COMMITTEE appointed
to make the selection decided that as Mr..
Joseph Maxwell had passed the exami.
nation to their entire satisfaction, unani-
mously recommended him to the board
of directors, for that position.
Mr.. Maxwell shaving filed the neces-
sary bond with the secretary of state, he
will receive his appointment in few
days from the state grain inspector,
when the necessary arrangements will
be made for the inspection of grain in
carloadS-bins, sacks or wagons.
The appointment of a grain inspector
and the establishment of Kansas grade
for grain at Wichita and in the great
grain district of Kansas means more for
the farmers of Kansas that it is possible
now to estimate.
This inspection will bring the seller
and buyer together, even if located a
thousand miles apart.
The farmer with his thousand or more
bushels Of grain in the elevators here
can sell it on Wichita inspection to the
satisfaction of the buyer. The northern,
southern, eastern and western purchasers
of grain will now be able to telegraph
their orders here for grain and be abSo-
lutely certain they are getting the pure
Kansas grain, under an official inspec-
tion
All southern Kansas grain that goes
mixed here with the grain from other
states and so be lowered in grade, be-
cause no inferior grain from any other
states enters this market, and this is of
untold value to the buyer.
The farmers will now be able to sell
their grain on home inspection, instead
of being subject to inspection outside of
the state, and which will be the means
of stimulating them to pub their grain
through elevators to bettes clean it for
a higher grade to receive AN increased
price.
Their inspection means more united
business interest between Wichita and
all other grain markets. /,
Their inspection makes it more con-
venient for Memphis and other
southeastern cities to buy grain
in Kansas. 1t also makes
it possible for Galveston to take the grain
of southern Kansas and pay better price
for it than before. 1t also enables the
government contractors to fill their or
ders from this point instead of being COM
PEELED to go east to do so.
Kansas grade, Wichita inspection.
a grade beyond question of
doubt, and one which if zealously
guarded will not only be quoted in all
the markets of this country, but in for
eign countries. as it is well established
fact that Kansas grain, ard especially
the wheat has a good reputation every
where.
An authorized inspection at central |
point where every other kind of business |
is being concentrated and where the
railway facilities are greatei than at any
other point makes it possiblk and desira-
bic for the representatives Of larger firms
to be located here.
Wichita being now the headquarters
in southern Kansas for the fork packing
and live stock business, will also become
through this inspection the headquarters
'or the grain business, and Wichita tax
ng the iniative and the honor of having
he first inspector, re-establishes her rep
ltation as the leading city of Kansas.
