cultures plan for fixing definite grades
for commercial corn was heard at the
conference between officials OF the Blu
reau Of Plant Industry and representa-

work TO the reduction of their profits.

called to give the farmers and shippers
an opportunity TO be heard before tho
final fixing of these grades. The con-
clusions OF the visiting grainmen Will be
