VELVET CHAFF IS MADE
NUMBER ONE NORTHERN

st. Paul Dispatch: Velvet chaf'
wheat. after a stormy fight for exist
ence in the grain trade Of the north
west, has at last come into its own
INC will hereafter be available as
No. l northern, making it deliverable
on contract at the chamber of COM
merce of Minneapolis without dis
count. providing it is graded as No. 1
northern.
The bearded variety has many
friends who have fought hard for its
recognition. while it also has many
enemies owing to its quality of mill
ing at the time of it's discovery. At
that time it was not deemed a good
enough wheat to sell in the regular
spring wheat classification, but now
the board of appeals has abolished
the classification of velvet chaff."
The board of appeals for the last
four years has been making milling
tests of this wheat and has found u
steady improvement in its milling
value. Last year the board raised 1t
to No. 2 northern and tests of the
1911 crop has caused the board to
feel justified in permitting it to be
raised into the regular No. 1 northern
class.
The productions of this wheat in
the northwest, especially in Mime
sofa and North and South Dakota has
increased literally and this decision
of the board is considered of great inn
portance to the producer. The new in
spection rules for the government
crop OF 1912 will go into effect Au-
gust Z.
More leeway was given in the mat
ter Of classifying fax, commonly
known as No. 1 grade. This grade
may weigh forty-nine pounds instead
of fifty pounds and the field damage
must be twenty e cent. instead of
Twenty-Five per cent.

FIRST REGULAR
MEETING HELD
George Carpenter Gives His
Experiences in Travelling
From Fair to Fair.

The first regular meeting of the
Fellowship club was held last evening
in the Pres )yterlan church parlorc.
A large number were present to listen
to the talk given by Mr.. Carpenter in
regard to his experiences in travelling
from one fair to another with his prize
winning herd. Mr.. Carpenter showed
large number of badges which he re-
ceived in OHIO, Indiana and Wiscon-
sin. He also showed some champion
and grand champion ribbons.
In the talk Mr.. Carpenter stated
that in picking show herd it WIS
necessary to pick stock of uniform
type, and after one has the animals
the care is the most important
thing. The feet of the stock have to
be kept trim and clean so they will
not become foot sore. He said that a
number Of premiums are lost just be-
cause the stock is foot sore and do not
stand still in the show ring. 1t evil
IDENTIFY is no easy task to take care of a
show herd as the animals have to be
led around for exercise and in one
instance it was necessary to fan the
stock with wet blankets on account of
the extreme heat. The men who take
care of the herd sleep in hammocks
suspended over the stock so they can
be near them. Mr.. Carpenter gave
much valuable information in regard
to feeding beef cattle.
In telling of the various buildings
at fairs he stated that those in Mil
waukee are in fine shape. The stock
show at the Wisconsin state fair was
the best that Mr.. Carpenter saw while
on the road. The central states are the
best cattle states because herds were
shown there That did not get any
premiums and then went east and
took the prize money. Many sug-
gestions on the raising of beef cattle
were given. The only place that the
Carpenter herd will be shown this fall
will be at the Chicago fat cattle show
the latter part of November.
The talk was well given and those
present enjoyed it very much. Mr..
Carpenter stated that it pleased him
greatly to see the interest that the
people of Baraboo take in his herd.
