SUI. ne WAS representing no one 5
views but his own that he knew of. las he
had not discussed the subject with his
colleagues. He thought the grain in
spector partly right and partly wrong.
There was no doubt but hard wheat
made the good quality of -four. 1t re-
CURED great deal more wheat, and,
consequently, the intrinsic value upon
it was not what it would be if the yield
were greater. The Eastern buyer was
not as anxious about the hardness as
he was the yield. Therefore the wheat
for shipment is not as valuable.
The farmer would be helped by the
change recommended who now has
wheat which will not grade as No. or
No. 2. However, it was at the expense
of the man whose wheat would go into
those grades now. If the standard is
lowered the man whose wheat weighs
Sc pounds per bushel reaps benefit,
while the man whose wheat weighs 81
or 57115 pounds is loser.
A Mistaken Move.
Mr.. Pillsbury said he thought the
commission had made mistake when
it abolished the No. 2 grade. The Ne
braSka farmer sends in his soft wheat
and gets the good of the grade. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. PilIsbury said: "This mat
ter can be looked at from several stand
points. As chamber Of commerce
man L would say the change is good
one, but as a borrower and a miller l
should be opposed to it. In my opinion
the re-establishment of the No. 2 hard
grade would be about what is wanted.
Wheat like the sample shown will make
good flour. and as such will be paid for
according to what it is worth, but it will
take about four and three-Quarter BUSH
els per barrel of this grade to about
four and half of the regular No. l
northern. and that makes quite differ
ence i'll the aggregate.
eff all the elevators in the state were
run regular, and there was no mixing,
things might be different
Gen. Becker, of the commission, here
stated that he understood there was not
to be public warehouse in the state
this fail.
Mr.. Pillsbury said in that case the
farmer would surely get much the worst
of it.
Discrimination Favored
In reply to a remark of Mr.. Clausen's
MIR. Pillsbury said he believed Southern
soft wheat should be Disseminated
against in this market, and that Mime
sofa and Dakota farmers should get the
benefit of any conditions that were ere
ated. He put this question to Mr..
ClauSen:
Suppose you grade into an elevator
lot of wheat of the soft variety that
weighs fifty-seven pounds. and then add
few cars of the hard, weighing less,
but belonging to the same grade. When
that wheat comes out Of the elevator it
will be short in weight, although all the
quality is there. how would you grade
it?''
Mr.. Clausen said he would not grade
that at all.
Gen. Becker wanted Mr.. PilIsDury to
define what he meant by No. 2 hard.
Il would say it should be the same as
l hard, except that it weighs only fifty
six pounds to the bushel."
MIR. Bagley followed Mr.. Pillsbury,
| and took about the same view of the
matter. There was some discussion be-
tween the millers and Mr.. Clausen,
and at noon the commission adjourned
| until next Tuesday, when further
hearing will be had. The grain-groW-
ers will then have an opportunity to
give their side of the case.
