Under the caption of Juggling the Grades
the St. Paul Dispatch of Tuesday has most
Interesting article the handling OF grades in
terminal elevators The Dispatch say
"When State Senator Young in his appeal
to Attorney General Moody to prevent the stop
page for inspection in Duluth of grain-laden
cars consigned to Superior, said that our grain
producers wished to be free of the Juggling of
grades he spoke the one word of his letter for
the real grain growers. All the rest was for the
niddlemen of Superior who wish only to get a
share of the business which the grain dealers
! of Duluth have so long and so proftably held.
"It is over two years now-it was in March,
19O3-that contest was on in the Wisconsin
Legislature over bill to create a grain inspec-
ton office in Superior. One of the spokesman
for Superior presented to the committee having
the bill in charge statement from the official
reports of our grain and warehouse commission
that gave the quantities and grades of wheat
inspected into elevators at Superior and in
Ispected out again into cars boats in the crop
year of 1901. The Dispatch, commenting on
the matter, gave the figures at the time. AS
illustrating the point we make against the
fraud of claiming that our inspection system is
in the interests of our grain growers we gave
them then ahd repeat them now promising
merely that, under an arrangement made in
1885, the inspection at Superior is made by the
official inspectors of Minnesota.
"The following table gives the quantities of
the several grades of wheat inspected in and
out in 1901
GRADE. INSPECTED IN. INSPECTED OUT.
No. 1 Northern 100000 100000
No. 2 Northern :. 341,O 900 3,796,OOO
No spring .... 1,325OOO $4,000
No grade .... 1886 900 $4,000
Totals . .2OO71,OOO 21,454,0O0
Excess inspected out 1,3S3OOO
without Juggling no more No. Northern
could be inspected out than had been inspected
into elevators, and no less of the lower grades
could have been inspected out than was in
spected in. To present these excuses, clearly
demonstrating the 'juggle,' we put them in this
form:
GRADE EXCESS OUT. EXCESS IN.
No Northern -. $4,000 1850.
No Northern 500. 3,545,008
NO spring 991'ooo
No grade ......... ...... 99l,OOO
Totals .. 6,39O,OOO 5,447OOO
Excess out ................-- 1,oooooo
Morris tribune., 1905-09-02

"There is something for grain growers
to think about besides the inspection squabble
of these two cities. They raised and sold the
sixteen millions of No. Northern that went
out of elevator at that grade: at what grade did
they sell it? They raised the ten million OF
lower grade wheat that shra1k more than half
in going out of store because more than haIf
was first grade, for which they got lower grade
prices And they raised and sold the 1888, 600
more bushels that were inspected out than
were inspected into elevators; did they get pay
for them? And, apart from Juggling in the ter
minal elevators, do these figures not support
the Dispatch in it's inference that, inevitably,
the local elevator buyer depresses grades so as
to protect himself against possible lower grad
ing of his purchases by the inspectors at tern1
nas?"
We do not know as we can add much to the
able discussion of this matter by the Dispatch.
The sins of the terminal elevators are visited on
the local elevator man, who in turn shifts the
burden to the farmer. The local elevator man
has troubles of his own with having his ship
ments fall down in grade, and invariable shrink
in quantity He is at the mercy of the .big
fellows" just as the local lumber dealers, sugar
dealers or machine men. The root of the diff
~.1lty is at the top, AMI something should be
! done 70 remedy this topsy-turvy condition.
YET - steal was perpetrated in 1901, and
has pre- ably Fc~n going ever since, and yet
nothing has been done about it. But the farm
ers themselves ;i~2 to blame. How many of
them will even take the trouble to read this
article, let alone starting any agitation to have
an inspection system that inspects.
/ The terminal elevators at Superior in year
shipped out 1893 900 more bushels of wheat
than they received. Query: How much is a
terminal elevator worth per acre?
S
Il If little over seven million bushels of No
II wheat goes into a terminal elevator and
comes out as little less than seven millions OF
No 1, and the rest of the No. goes to raise No
3 to No 2, how much eye-water does the in
Ispector use?

Obituary..

On Friday evening, October Ii,
1905, Miss Ida Hurt, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Hurt, of
Cumberland county, left this
world for brighter home above.
The deceased was victim of con-
sumption, age Fl years, a men,
Der of the Methodist church, was
confined to her bed four weeks.
A number Of friends and rela-
tives visited her during her ILL
ness. The end came happily.
She told the minister that the
whole world would not be as
much comfort as her religion.
She called every member of the
family to her bedside and babe
them f ar well. She told
her mother she saw heaven and
the gates were open; she saw the
angles passing through the gates
and coming down for her. Be
fore she died she had some one
to hold the lamp at the clock so
she could see what time it was.
When she saw the beautiful an
giles coming for her she threw
up her hand and said, Good bye
to all, l am going home" and
breathed the last. The remains
were laid to rest Saturday even
ing in the presence of a large
number of friends and relatives.
There was not an eye but what
was filled with tears, and not one
but what felt that they had one
more friend in heaven. They
sang the songs, 'I'll sail no more
on the wild stormy sea, and
when the roll is called up yond-
ed" then had prayer. Her flu
neral was not preached as her
was for Rev. C. r.
Payne to do the preaching and
he could not be there, but will be
attended to in the future. We
have deep sympathy for her sor-
rowing father and mother, broth
ers and sisters. She has gone to
that beautiful home where death
comes no more. May we all live
to meet her on that heavenly
shore.
We miss thee from home. dear Ida.
We miss thee from thy place.
A shadow DER our life is cast
We miss the sunshine Of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand
Thy fond and earnest care.
Our home is dark without the:
We miss thee everywhere.
Her cousin,
leila FIELDS.
