STANDARD GRADES FOR CORN.
New Rulings Announced by Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Washington, January 4.-Definite
standards fo1 the grading Of corn and
the uniform application Of such stand
ards IN all markets. under government
supervision, were announced to-day by
tho Department of Agriculture They
will be effective after July next, and
are expected to be OF great value to
growers and dealers.
The grades are practically the Same
as the tentative grades formulated and
announced August 20 last. The prin-
cipal exception is that grade is al
lowed TO include one-half OF ! per
cent; grade ., per cent. and grade
6. per cent OF heat-darnaged or ma
hogany corn. This allowance was
made In response to resolution
adopted By the Grain Dealers National
Association and the National Council
OF Farmers ColCperative Associa :
tons.
The grades promulgated run from
one to six. as in the original tentative
grades. The only other change In the
tentative grades was the requirement
all that will pass through q metal
in liamter 8nd that crackcd corn shall.
include all larger than finely broken
that passes through a similar sieve
with holes IA OF an inch In diameter
Secretary Houston believes the adop-
ton OF the grades Will open the way
for real progress In the movement for
the production OF more corn OF better
quality, and will give farmers an in
ccntiVe to raise earlier maturing va
ricticn. containing less moisture when
marketed.

SEVERAL CASES ON APPEAL

Especial to The rimes-Dispatcb !

washington, January 5.-The rail-

forward with anxiety to the meeting

Ing the Christmas holidays. Opinions
may be handed down iit some Of the
most important and far-reaching rate
cases that havo yet been brought be-
fore the Supreme Court. In the So
called Shreveport case, the decision Of
the court may have the effect Of clint
mating altogether State railroad COM

to purely State rates whore these ratios

Tho state Commission or Texas In
ruling regulating certain rates be-
tween Shreveport ana Texas points
practically controlled the commodities
moved by permitting rates within the

Commission on business passing from
Louisiana into Texas end vice versa
The commission in an opinion handed
down by the then Commissioner Lane
now Secretary OF the Interior held
that this was Illegal and an attempt
TO establish Il State policy more than
m effort merely 20 regulate rates. The
commission held that all State rates
are practically subject to the rulings
OF the commission where these state
ratios affected interstate business.
The case was brought TO the SUI
preme Court on appea! in such way
lawyers say, that it presents n question
upon which there undoubtedly will no
most sweeping decision.
The railroads which have been at the
mercy of tho State boards in every
state in tho Union. realizing that they
must submit to some form of govern
ment regulation and control, are
anxious that that control be centred
in the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.

known as the 1rtermountain cases In
which the court Will pass upon tho
