ASSESSMENT OF DIS.
COUNT AGAINST WHEAT

1t has been brought to the atten-
ton of the United States Department
o. Agriculture from several sources
that, in certain parts of the country
where this years crop of wheat is
now being moved, the country grain
dealers are assessing the farmers a
discount against all wheat purchased,
contending that such assessment Is
mandatory by reason of the official
grain standards of the United States
for wheat under the United States
grain standards Act Apparently the
contention on the part Of the coun-
try grain dealers is based upon the
item "dockage" contained in the Of
fetal standards. From information
received by the department 1t appears,
however, that the discount is actual
ly an arbitrary assessment in the in
terest of the buyers, and Is neither on
the basis of the official standards nor
required or contemplated by the Act
or the regulations hereunder.
The primary purpose in the estab-
lishment of the official grain stan
dards of the United States was to
provide basis whereby parties to
transactions involving the purchase
and sale Of grain shipped or deliver
ed for shipment In interstate or for
eign commerce might, through being
able to obtain correct application
of such standards, arrive at the &C
tual value and make settlement &C
cordingly. The standards for wheat
do not provide for any arbitrary as
sessment for dockage. They do pro-
vide for the determination of the
amount of sand, dirt, weed seeds,
weed stems and certain other matter,
called dockage, which actually may
be present In lot Of wheat, the
amount of which, II in excess of one
half Of one per cent by weight is to
be stated in terms of the actual per-
centage as part of the grade desig-
nation of the wheat. This is called
the dockage system Of grading and
has been in use for many years in the
northwestern States prior to the
adoption of the official standards.
The transactions in question appear
to be purely local, not involving in
terstate commerce. and are perhaps
conducted in a way not within the
prohibitions of the Act. Nevertheless,
the Department of Agriculture is in
