impurities in Wheat
Rye, Corn Cookie, kinshead, and
Vetch Frequently Cause Loss to
the Farmer

The results of recent tests by the.
Department of Agriculture indicate
that the presence in wheat of more
than 2 per cent of what are known
to millers as 'inseparable impurities"
lessons the value of the wheat for
milling and baking purposes. This
fact has been recognized in general
commercial practice for wheat con-
tanning q noticeable amount of i'm
purities brings lower price per
busheI than other wheat.
The experiments conducted by the
department are discussed in detail in
Bulletin 1923. They include tests Of
due to the fact the seed used in
cookie, and wild vetch seed in wheat
in various quantities. OF these sub
stances, rye occurs the most frequent
ly, being found in SO per cent OF the
samples of hard winter wheat exam
ined by the investigators and In
80 per cent of the spring wheat. In
one instance farmers wheat crop
contained 14.3 per cent OF rye. On
this account the farmer received s
cents less per bushel than the nor
NAL price
In regard to the quantity of rye
necessary to exert an injurious effect
upon the quality of wheat, there is
a difference of opinion among mill
ers. Some believe that when the
percentage Of rye is less than 5, the
-four or bread is not noticeably af'
fected, while others have held that
per cent is Objectionable. The
Government investigators found that
per cent or more Of rye is suffici'
ent to lower the quality of the bread
In considerable percentage Of the
wheat samples examined, the pres
ence of rye was said to be probably
to the fact that the seed used In
sowing the wheat contained rye. 1t
ia not iufrequent for rye to scatter
during harvest and to produce In
this way a volunteer crop IL the
wheat Is sown on land which was
planted in rye the previous season,
this volunteer crop OF rye Is harvest
ed with the wheat. Partial winter
killing of the wheat increases the
percentage Of the rye, because the
latter grain Is not so susceptible to
winterkilling as the former.
Corn cookie, although less frequent
In wheat than rye, has more in1ur
ious effect. The presence of even
per cent OF this weed seed In wheat
Is likely to lower the price to the
farmer and certainly lowers the bak
ing quality of the flour. Corn cockle
is an exceedingly prolific annual weed
single plant having been known te
yield as high as $500 seed. Further
more, this seed Ia OF such shape and

size that 1t is difficult to separate 1t
from the wheat. The weed is wide
ly distributed over the United States
and is especially abundant in sections
producing soft red winter, spring and
Durum Wheat. Every farmer,
therefore, should strive to prevent
its obtaining q foothold on his farm.
Corn cookie seed is particularly
Objectionable in wheat because it
contains a poisonous element known
as saponin or sapotoxin. This has
been found at times to do consider
able injury to young chickens and
stock when fed wheat screenings.
or the other impurities examined,
kinghead, sometimes known rs great
ragweed, is frequently found in
wheat in quantities as high as 3 or
per cent. Under such circumstan'
ces the -four contains black specks
and the color and texture of tho
bread are seriously affected. Even
as small an amount as l per cent of
kinghead is noticeable in flour. Vetch
seed also alters the color of the flour
giving it yellowish appearance as
well as a noticeable odor of vetch.
As has already been stated, the
presence Of any one of these impuri'
ties is very likely to reduce the price
the farmer receives for his wheat.
Not only Is the price per bushel usu'
ally less, but there may also be a
"dockage" charge. Dockage Is
trade term for the amount deducted
on account of the presence OF for
eign material from the gross weight
OF the wheat. For example, If a
load of so bushels of wheact is found
to contain 2 pounds OF foreign matter
per bushcl, 100 pounds is deducted
from the lot for dockage. The own
or is paid, not for 80 bushe' =, but for
so bushels less 100 pounds. or As

TElkhELL PROPERTY TO BE
 DEVELOPED SHORTLY

VALDEZ, May "A crew of four men have started work on the prop erty of the Tekhell Gold Mining company, which Is situated about two and half miles from Teikhell roadhouse and one and half miles from the wagon road
 This property has excellent sur face showings where four parallel veins, carrying very high values in gold, are traceable for several hun dred feet. Considerable surface work has been done on these veins. consisting principally of shallow shafts and open cuts which proved the veins to be regular with well defined walls. A cross-cut tunnel, 120 feet in length, tapped the first vein which was found to carry even higher values than on the surface. This tunnel, f extended not more than 50 feet, should tap the other three veins. which, If found to be equally as rich as the first will make this an exceptionally valuable property.
 The completion of this work is awaited with much interest. as tel lurium was found to exist in these veins on the surface
