How to Test Wheat.

In his annual report State Grain
Inspector Wright explains the man
ner of examining wheat, about
which much has been said and
little written. According to the re-
port the loaded cars are run onto
tracks provided by the railroad
company and the deputy grain in
spector breaks the seals and enters
the cars. Where the grain is in
bulk plunger is forced to the bot
tom of the car and samples of wheat
taken from each part. The grad
ings are marked on cards and
tackled inside the car. When the
grain is in sacks as many sacks as
can be reached are sampled and
ratings made. At the warehouses
another inspection is made. Ele-
vator A stores only in bulk and
the final inspection takes place be-
fore the grain leaves the car, and if
the grain is stored in sacks the
grain is tested before being emptied
into the hopper. At other ware
houses the sacked grain is stacked,
each car lead being kept separate.
An inspector is employed in these
houses with each unloading crew
and each sack is sampled and
weighed.
Explaining the advantages of
state inspection, Mr.. Wright says;
Suitable provision is made for
reinspection if demanded by
party in interest, and for an appeal
from the decision resulting from
such re-inspection if unsatisfactory.
The receipts of grain at Tacoma are
at the rate of one hundred cars a
day for weeks at time during the
shipping season. For this reason
the cars must be unloaded with dis
patch. 1t is sometimes the case
that car of wheat is unloaded at
the elevator and gone into the hold
of the vessel ere the return Of the
grades reaches the country shipper.
In case of a bulk elevator, as above
described, or a bulk car, the grain
has gone into the bins. In the alb
sence of state inspection the ship
per must take the grade of the buy
er at the terminal point, without
question, in the case where the
grain has gone aboard ship or into
the bins. The advantage of state
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1898-01-08

inspection in these cases is that the
grain has passed through inspec-
ton by the state officials, who have
record of the car and its contents,
consisting of; Condition of car and
seals, track inspection of grain,
sworn statements of weights, report
of deputy inspector by sacks in the
warehouse at the time of unloading,
and the report of the elevator or
warehouse where stored, and these
records are open to the shipper"
The crop of 1896 is the one re-
ferred to in the inspectors report.

The Wheat Crop.

The statistician of the depart
,nent of agriculture at Washington
has given a revised estimate OF the
wheat crop of 1897, which adds co.
600 900 bushels to the last previous
renort. This is concession to the
accuracy of commercial estimates,
hut the national export is still from
twenty to sixty millions below the
estimates coming from private
sources. The crop this year is now
nlaced at $50, 100000 bushels. As
Stunning that the national statisti-
clan approximates accuracy in his
latest estimate the United States
will have about 160,000,000 bush
els available for export, This is
less than was expected. The ship
ments up to December 10th am
ounted to 100000 bushels.
This would leave on the 100000
estimate but about 5000, 900 bush
els for the remainder of December
and the first six months of the next
calendar year The foreign require
ments for the period are placed at
100000 bushels. There may
be, therefore, q deficiency Of 54,-
100000 bushels, Of course, as the
home requirements are fixed, what
ever increase there may be in the
total crop will be available for ex-
port. Should the highest of the
commercial estimates prove correct,
there would be little or no defici-
ency.
While there is always suspicion
that private estimates may be col
ored by sympathy with either the
bull or bear interests, the agricul-
tural department has this year adj
mitted closer approach to accur-
acy than the department has made.
The highest estimate was made by
Mr.. E. B Snow-592, 100000 bush
els. E. NJ. Thoman reduced this
estimate to 580,O00,000 bushels.
The Chicago Trade Bulletin took
off another 100000 bushels, and
the Cincinnati Price Current agreed
with the Chicago estimate. The
departments original estimate was
58,0o0,000 bushels, which has
since been raised to 530,000,0OO
bushels.
An authority on commercial
matters says; THE probabilities
are that the growers will get close
to $450,000,0O0. Over 100000, 1000
bushels had been sold abroad by
December LIST at price very little
under q dollar a bushel, and as
more must be paid for the next
100000 bushels which trade
authorities estimate will be re-
quired, it means about 100000, 900
of foreign gold brought across the
Atlantic by the sale of this COM

Expansion.

Politicians are trying to ring people in
TO the expansion idea by continually as
serting that it is progressive style and
that if you would be progressive you
must favor expansion. What rot. II
has nothing to do with expansion. A
man 10 be progressive doesn't have to
buy up all the property in sight. A farm
er with 100 acres to be progressive does
not Ehave to gobble up the adjoining
forty acres. He displays his progressive
ideas by doing some first class farming
in an uptodate way. So the United
States to be progressive should run its
government in an uptodate, enlightened
way. Uncle Sam doesn't have to reach
out and gobble up the whole world nor
even a part OF it TO be progressive. A
great many business men are ruined by
putting their irons in too many fires, and
it might be the way with nations, and
has been in good many instances in the
world. II it is necessary to annex the
Philippines to be progressive, then when
we have the Philippines awhile it will be
necessary to annex China or some other
country. The truth is We have been pro-
gressive before this exausion idea was
thought of by us, the most progressive
on the face of the earth Notwithstanding
the imperialistfc policy OF some of them.
No nation touches the United States in
the matter Of get up and get. We have
big field already for progressive pol
icies without adding pagan, ,iguorant.un'
progressive people to our country. Some
one says we have been in favor or expan-
sion because we added the western coun.
try, Louisiana and Alaska to the original
country. Nothing Of the kind. The
country was forming, and the circum-
stances we're ripe for such movements in
order to complete our national bound
aries. Even now il another country were
to ask admission TO our doors we could
not very we'll do any thing bat admit
il. That would be business and entire
ly different from forcing country into
our union. The matter is one that call:
for good sense and fairness, and not bull
doing methods.
