NO RYE IN THE WHEAT.
can't Get No. ? Grade If Grain Con-
tains Any.

The action of the state grain grad
ing commission Friday afternoon was
equivalent to a warning to the Kansas
farmers that before the next wheat
harvest. they must prepare to have
their wheat free from rye if they ex-
pect to secure a grade of No. 2.
The Kansas miliers had committee
before the commission to ask that such
a rule be made at once, for this years
crop. The millers contended that they
were imposed upon by the farmers.
who sell them wheat graded as No ?
which contains great deal of rye, and
which has been secured They asked
that all wheat containing rye and
which has been through the securing
machines be penalized. The grain
dealers opposed this on the ground
that all Kansas wheat will be con
signed under this rule to Missouri
( dealers.
There is no ban on secured wheat or
wheat mixed with rye in Missouri and
the Kansas dealers say that they would
lose the business if the rule should be
established. The grading commission
finally decided to leave the question
largely to the discretion of the state
grain inspector and the new rule on the
subject provides that wheat shall not
be graded No. 2 if it contains an I'M
usual amount of rye.
This rule said J. ". Radford.
state grain inspector, may be regard
ed by the wheat growers Of the state
as warning. Their wheat mixed with
rye and secured will be accepted this
year. but they must prepare to raise
clean wheat next year If they expect
to sell it in Kansas. The commission
undoubtedly viii make a rule next year
to the effect that no wheat mixed with
rye will be graded No. 2. The farm
ers must go through their wheat next
spring and cut out the rye and they
must select clean seed this fall
The commission fixed standard
grade of oats at % pounds to the
bushel This is between No 2 and No.
3 oats and is the standard used on the
eastern boards of trade. The first test
weight on macaroni wheat was estab-
lished The wheat must weigh So

Soldiers Are Making Great Strides in
Workmanship.

Washington, July Tn a letter to
Acting Secretary Oliver President
Roosevelt has expressed his gratiflca-
ton at the remarkable progress that is
being made by the enlisted men Of the
army in marksmanship. Before the
Spanish war the American private sol
der was admittedly the finest shot IN
the world. The addition Of the large
number of volunteers had the effect OF
greatly reducing the average Of the
rif1emen. But since the reorganization
of the army following the war every
effort has been made to stimulate in
terest in craftsmanship and the result
Is that today the average IS probably
as high, If not higher, than it was at
the beginning of the war.
The figures laid before the president
that elected his approval showed that
in 1903, there were in the whole army
So expert rifiemen, $40 sharpshooters
and five hundred marksmen as the
various grades are known technically
In the following year these figures had
increased to 264 expert rifemen. 1,4SS
sharpshooters and z.484 mArksmen.
Now it is shown that last year the
record stood $50 expert rifiemen, a,S44
sharpshooters and LABS marksmen.
General Oliver attributed the I'M
provement in q large part to the fact
that congress has allowed an increase
