specting scales. His report shows that no

cent are shown to be of. Inspectors are
appointed in each county and they inspect
with a ffty-pound weight and IL is claimed
by the State Association of Grain Dealers
that the inspectors, as well as those in
charge of the scales, have no knowledge OF
the technical requirements of an accurate

a very large per cent of those inspected
bind because OF Accommodations In the scale

wooden posts set in the ground, which posts
settle and leave the scales out of plumb. AS

the law as to scales inspection.
