WHEAT GRADES HIGH THIS YEAR.
Rumors That New Government Stand
ards Would Work Hardship.

A large part of this years wheat crop
has graded high at the markets--No. or
better--under the federal wheat stand
ards made effective this year The Unit.
ed States department of agriculture calls
attention to the exact figures because
persistent false rumors have been cir
culated in the grain trade, and particn
larry among country shippers and pro-
ducers, to the effect that, under the
new federal standards for wheat, very
little of the marketed crop is being, or
has been, placed in the higher grades.
On the contrary, the requirements OF The
federal standards for wheat are not such
as to work hardships on the country
shippers and producers, for under these
standards high grades have been given
to heavy percentage of the wheat mar
keted.
The department of agriculture calls
attention to these facts:
l.--Of the hard red spring wheat which
arrived in Minneapolis during the months
of August and September, 1914, 1918 and
1916. 1877 per cent graded No. 3 or better
under Minnesota standards for wheat IN
effect at that time.
VI the hard red spring WheaI winch
arrived at Minneapolis during August
and the first 90 days of September this
year, sl2 per cent graded No. or bet
ter under the federal standards.
In comparing the above facts, II should
be borne in mind that whereas mo. 3 or
better" under Minnesota state standards
included the first four grades mo. hard
and No |, 2, 8, northern) only the first
three grades of the federal standards
have been considered.
2.-Of the hard red winter wheat which
arrived at Chicago during July and Au-
gust this year, 1913 per cent graded No.
3 or better under federal standards; of
the soft red winter wheat which arrived
at Chicago during the same period, 72.5
per cent graded No 3 or better under the
federal standards.
OF the hard red winter wheat which
arrived at Kansas City during July and
August this year, 500 per cent graded
No. 3 or better under the federal stand
ards: of the soft red winter wheat which
arrived at Kansas City during the same
period, 92.6 per cent graded No. 3 or
better under the federal standards.

State Fish and Game Commissioner
Writes Regarding Licenses.

There has been a question in this town
as to whether young boys who have
been trapping are supposed to secure Ii
censes for the sport and the following
letter, received by L. o. Morgan from
Linus Leavens of Cambridge, state fish
and game commissioner, is supposed to
settle the matter.
Cambridge, Vt, Oct. 26, 1917.
'Mr. l.. o. Morgan, Dear Sir: A boy
under 10 years of age would require no
license to hunt or trap on lands owned or
rented by his father. Such license would
be required to hunt or trap on lands
owned or rented by any other person.
