The state railway and warehouse
commission has fixed the wheat grade
rates for the coming season. The
grades are all reaffirmed with the sin
gle exception of the note that was in
terpolated last year, which reads:
Hardy, f1inty wheat containing no
appreciable admixture of soft wheat
may be admitted into the grades of No.
2 northern spring and No. spring
wheat, provided the test weight of the
same is not more than one pound less
than the minimum weight required by
the existing rules for said grades, and
provided further that such wheat is in
all other respects qualified for admis:
sion into such grades"
This rule was adopted because the
crop last year was hard, but it was
somewhat lighter than the prescribed
weight. This explains the change and
also.why the mote" was dropped when
it is known that the wheat crop lust
harvested is heavy and conforms to the
weight schedules of former years.
