from the elevator or from private in
dividuals in the district which is being
inspected, unless the name of the in
dividual or elevator occurs on the
certified list that will be put out by
the State Council of Defense We
find many fields that are pure hard
wheat, and many elevator men who
will engage to handle carefully the
wheat that is to be used for seed.
However, there are many fields of
soft wheat, and soft and hard mix
ed. There is much rye mixture and
many fields infested with dangerous
weeds, facts which will make careless
buying disastrous to the Western
wheat farmers"
