Big Victory for Velvet
Chaff Wheat in N. D.
Wisconsin Commission Puts Velvet Chaff Up Several Notches
in GradeNow on Parity With Blue
Stem and Fife Varieties
PROF. {. f. LAOD is LARGELY RESPONSIBLE

In a letter received in Fargo today
from H. A. johnson, chairman Of the
commissioners of the Wisconsin Grain
& Warehouse commission it is an
nounced that the commission has de-
cided that the North Dakota velvet
chaff wheat has been unduly dis
eliminated against and that they viii
hereafter pay more for this wheat
This announcement comes as result
of a fight that has been waged for a
long time between the farmers, rail-
road commission and agricultural col
lege Of North Dakota on one side and
the eastern buyers and commission
merchants on the other side.
In a new book of rules that has just
been issued from the Superior office
of the commission giving the grades
of grain, the following is found re-
garding the velvet chaff wheat.
The commission, believing that vel
vet chair wheat has been unduly dis
eliminated against, have, in conJunc-
junction with the North Dakota rail-
way commission, and with the coop

needed to elect.
Rhode Island had a long deadlock
over the senatorial election three years
ago and for whole year. as its re-
suit went with one member in the
senate. In the former contest Col.
Samuel Pomeroy Colt was one of the
candidates to defeat Senator George
Peabody Wetmore. Robert III. I Cod
dard, independent, was the third can
didate. There were 50 ballots taken
then without election and the asseu1b-

hopelessly tied up. Colonel Colt drew
out before the next session and SEN
ator Wetmore went back to Washing
ton, rated as new member, having
been "out'' a year.
Colonel Colt drew out of the race
again this year and 1t is believed he
did so to give his brother, Judge Le-
Baron b. Colt, better chance. Judge
Colt sits at Boston as the United
States district Judge. The election win
occur Ia the frst part Of January.

milling value compared with the fife
and blue stem varieties. These tests
were made at the Fargo agricultural
college under the supervision of Pro-
lessor Ladd, and are unquestionably
correct We will grade velvet chafe
wheat the same as the fife and blue
stem varieties. but will not put 1t in
a higher grade than No. northern.
This means that the commission has
changed Its margin of discrimination
from cents to 8 cents, which they
will still hold. Even though the buy
ers still hold this small margin, a
great deal has been accomplished for
the grain grower in North Dakota.
The announcement win be most well
come news to the wheat men through
out the state.
Another Laid Victory.
1t is another victory for Prof. T.. r.
Ladd and the North Dakota A. G.
Professor Ladd has long held that the
millers and wheat buyers were dis
eliminating against velvet ohaff to the
detriment of the farmers, and he has
been making fight to have It placed
in it's right place in the public mar
kets.

the defendant became a witness in his

The accused man appeared haggard

as the discrimination progressed
and at one time 1t appeared that he
would be unable to even reply to the
questions which were fired at him by
the attorneys for the prosecution. Con-
tinually he reached forward and with
a shaky hand poured out glass of
water from a pitcher near the witness
stand, gulping down the contents.
Vending was unable to explain why
