VELVET cHAFF WHEAT GRADE
south Dakota Commissioners Adopt
New Regulations, Besides Re-
adopting Old Ones.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Sept 26-(specIal)
The State Board of Railroad Commis-
sioners, which has just held its regular
monthly meetlns--at the headquarters OF
the board In this city, has readopted the
grades of grain aud rules and regulations
of last year to apply for the coming year.
and in addition has adopted grade for
what is known as velvet chaff wheat, as
follows;
No. 1 shall be bright, sound and well
cleaned and weigh not less than fifty-seven
pounds to the measured bushe
No. shall be sound, dry. reasonably
clean, may be slightly bleached or
shrunken but not good enough for No. /,
and weigh not less than fifty-sx pounds
to the measured bushel.
No. shall include all wheat that is
bleached, smutty for any other cause
unfit for No. 2. and weigh not less than
No. 4 shall include all wheat that is very
smutty badly bleached and grown. or for
any other cause unfit for No. 3.
The board also is endeavoring to secure
grade on speltz. which has become one
Of the great feed crops Of South Dakota,
especially In the northern and western
parts of the state : 1t is hoped by the
board that some temporary provision may
be made for the grading of speltz pending
the enactment of such legislation as may
be found necessary.
In the matter of the construction OF
side track on the Milwaukee railroad at a
point between the towns of Reliance and
Kennebec, In Lyman county, for which
residents of the vicinity had petitloned, the
railroad commissioners denied the appllca-
ton. In the Wagner side track case the
board decided to make an order requiring
the Milwaukee Railroad company to con-
struct the desired side track at point
about midway between the towns of Wag-
ner and Avon. The petitioners offered to
do the grading for the side track, and the
petition was granted on that condition.
Only one complaint of a car shortage has
thus far been filed with the railroad com
missioners.
