GRAIN INSPECTION.

While elevators and mills mostly
buy grain on their judgment, the Off.
cial grading is usually done by the
state grain inspection department and
not by the grain exchanges as is often
thought. In determining what grades
should be given to a lot of
wheat. the following points are con.
sidered:
First-Plumpness, maturity. true.
ness to type.
Standardization.
Third-Test weight per bushel.
Fourth-Amount of weeds, dirt and
foreign material or other grains.
fifth-General appearance.
The corn grades under federal su.
pervision were put into effect In De-
cember. Wheat will be next, probably
sometime after the next crop. The
ONCE of grain Standardization at
Washington is gathering information
now upon which to base the new
grades.

HISTORY OF MARQUIS WHEAT.

Marquis wheat is one of the de-
scendants of a o made about 1892
The female was a wheat from India
called hard red Calcutta. The male
parent was the widely grown red Fife.
The breeding work was done at the
Canadian station at Ottawa. The good
milling qualities Of this variety became
apparent by the end of 1906 and 1t was
sent out to Manitoba for testing in
1907 In which year wheat rust was
very bad. II was found that the EARL.
ness OF this variety enabled II to partly
escape the rust and II soon became a
favorite. 1t has been moving south
ward until 1t is being gradually estab-
lished in all the spring wheat section.

BUYING GRAIN ON GRADE.

In Justice to the farmer who exer-
cises care in selecting good seed and
in properly preparing his grain for
market, many grain elevators are now
buying grain upon its grade merit.
The prevailing full market value is
paid OF standard grades and inferior
grades are handled upon their relative
merits.
Farmers should know the require
ments of the grain market. In no
other way a they expect to meet
the demands of the buyers who re-
ceiye the highest prices. Quality
makes the price for the miller and
manufacturer.

The millions of dollars that pour in
