UNIFORM GRADES.
At the close of one year of service rs
state chief inspector of grain, it gives
me pleasure to point to the following
results.
First-Uniformity in the grading of
grain.
Second-The grade has been based solely
on the character of the grain, without re-
gard to market fluctuations or the de-
mand of special interests.
Th1rd-The producer has received the
full and just grade which his grain has
by the dealer for export or for domestic
milling.
Fourth-There has been no favoritism
among dealers and no Partially between
dealer and producer; one grade for all,
without fear or favor.
Fifth-Economy in the cost of inspec-
ton and accuracy in the weighing.
