The decision of the United States
courts above referred to means that
the Kansas grain inspection depart
ment is put out of business. and that
the Kansas farmers having grain to
sell will have to rely for their
weights and grading upon the COM
mission man or elevator to whom the
grain is consigned.
The law was enacted for the pur-
pose of protecting the farmers from
unfair trea tment by elevator men, and
it gave 10 the Kansas grain inspector
and his deputies the right to go into
grain elevators above a certain size
and require those elevators to permit
an inspection and weighing of all
grain received by them. The fact
that the law did not apply to all ele-
vators was the ground upon which it
was attacked.
1t is likely that the coming session
of the legislature will be called upon
to act, and pass a law which vii.
remedy the defects in the old law, and
re-esta blish the department in some
form for the projection Of Kansas
farmers.
