Crop Bulletin Of the Weather Bureau.

crop BuIIeCln OF the w Gather Bureau.
The weather in the Red River valley
has been dry and favorable for the har-
vest of spring wheat, oats and barley.
In the central counties, many report
the wheat sprouting in the shocks and
the stacks wet from the heavy rains of
the previous week. Threshing from
the shock has been delayed by the wet
condition of the grain. Considerable
fax has been cut. Flowing is going
on in central and southern counties.
Potatoes and corn are doing we'll; corn
is being cut in places where it is the
ripest. The apple crop is very irregu-
lar one; few orchards having full
crops, but generally the crop is light.

Wheat Grades. !.

The new state board Of grain ap-
peals, at it's recent meeting, estab-
llshed the following rules for grading
wheat:
Where wheat is rejected" or marked
mo grade" the board saw fit to insist
in the rules that there be a definite
dockage in the first place, and in the
second the assignment of a reason.
This, it is hoped, will put check on
very bad practice. As long as the
practice prevailed of assigning no ex-
PLANTATION of the rejected" and mo
grade" grading, the shipper was left
entirely in the dark as to tile charac-
ter OF his crop, and simply received
what the Minneapolis or Duluth dealer
cared to remit for it. Perhaps the lat
ter might hold the wheat week and
then ship it out as No. 1, and pocket
the difference between the price for
No. and rejected, while the farmer
would be robbed of the difference.
This rule in a rainy season will be of
immense advantage to the wheat
growers of Minnesota and the Da-
kotas.
The new grades become effective
Sept. as follows:
No. 1 Hard Spring Wheat-No. 1
hard spring wheat must be sound,
bright and well cleaned, and must be
composed mostly of hard Scotch fife
and weigh not less than So pounds to
the measured bushel.
No. Northern Spring Wheat-Must
be sound and we'll cleaned, and must
be composed equally of the hard and
soft varieties of spring wheat, and
| weigh not less than 81 pounds to the
measured bushel.
No. Northern Spring Wheat-Must
be sound, reasonably clean. This grade
| to include all wheat not suitable for
the higher grades on account of smut,
barley or too much king heads, cookie
and oats, or any other defects, and to
weigh not less than Sc pounds to the
measured bushel.
No. Spring Wheat-Shall comprise
all the inferior shrunken spring wheat
weighing not less than 81 pounds to
the measured bushel.
Note-Hard, Ainty wheat, of good
color, containing no appreciable ad-
mixture of soft wheat, may be admit
ted into the grades of No. northern
spring wheat and No. 8 spring wheat,
provided the test weight of the same
is not more thon one pound less than
the minimum weight required by the
existing rules for said grades, and pro
vided further, that such wheat is in al
other respects qualified for admission
into such grades.

Note-Wheat containing admixtur,
of rice or goose wheat will in no cas-,
grade higher than rejected.
Note-The amount of dirt in al
wheat shall be determined by the in
