interested for long time in the SULPHUR
ed oat problem. Elevator men and grain
brokers have been in the habit OF bleach
ing dirty and rusty oats with sulphur
fumes and raising the grade of the svain

when the matter was turned over by

It's decision. The board has h5d the mat
ter in its hands for some months without
acting, and practical experiments are now
to be tried in feeding cattle on the treated
