WHEAT GRADES
HIGH THIS YEAR


/ Washington, ID. c., Oct. ia large
4 part of this years wheat crop has
graded high at the markets-No. 3
4 or better--under the federal wheat
standards made effective this year.
The United States department of ag-
riculture calls attention to the exact
figures because persistent false ru-
mors have been circulated in the grain
trade, and particularly among country
shippers and producers, TO the effect
that, under the new federal standards
fer 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 stand
ards for wheat are not such as to
work hardship on the country ship
pers and producers, for under these
standards high grades have been given
to heavy percentage or the wheat
marketed
The department of agriculture calls
attention to these facts:
ID OF the hard red spring wheat
which arrived in Minneapolis during
the months of August and September.
1914, 1915 and 1915, 1877 per cent
graded No. 8 or better under Min
nesota state standards for wheat in
effect at that time.
OF the hard red spring wheat which
arrived at Minneapolis during August
and the first twenty-t wo days of Sep
TENDER this year, s1.2 per cent graded
No. 8 or better under the federal
standards.
In comparing the above facts. it
should be borne in mind that whereas
NO. 8 or better" under Minnesota
state standards included the first four
grades tNo. 1 hard and Nos. !. ., 3.
Northern) only the first three grades
of the federal standards have been
considered.
90 OF the hard red winter wheat
which arrived at Chicago during July
and August this year, 1913 per cent
Graded No. or better under federal
standards; Of the soft red winter
wheat which arrived at Chicago dur
ing the same period, 72.5 per cent
graded No or better under the fed
eral standards
or the hard red winter wheat which
arrived at Kansas City during July
and August this year, S9,9 per cent
graded Ne. 8 or better under the fed
eral standar ds. OF the soft red winter
wheat which arrived at Kansas City
during the same period, a26 per cent
graded No or better under the fed
