Department Of Agriculture Has
Made Public New Grain Grades

North Dakota was partially success
ful in it's fight for the standards of
wheat, according to word received in
Fargo late Saturday night.
The standards of wheat were pro-
mulgated Saturday by the department
of agriculture. Three features, which
are of great interest to North Dakota
are as follows:
The designation northern was re-
tanned for two subclasses of hard red
spring wheat. ....
Moisture content for hard red
spring wheat was limited to 1912 per
cent over the present protest of North
cent.
Spring wheat standards will not be
effectivs until Aug. 1. Twin Cities
and Duluth dealers asked this conces-
sion to cover outstanding contracts
under former grades.
Tie standards for hard red winter,
soft red winter, common white and
white club wheats will be effective
July /. The use of these standards
is required for wheat shipped between
states or for foreign commerce and
so1d, offered for sale or consigned by
grades.
The department divides wheat into
six classes, in each class is permitted
a maximum of 10 per cent of other
wheats. The classes are: Hard red
spring, subdivided into dark north
ern spring, northern spring, red spring
and red spring humpback.
Common and red durum, subdivided
into amber durum, red durum.
Hard red winter, subdivided into
dark hard winter, hard winter and
yellow hard winter.
Soft red winter, subdivided into red
winter, red walla and soft red.
Common white, subdivided into
hard white and soft white.
White club of all varieties and n.y.
brids and also common white, known
as sonora.
Each subclass is divided into six
grades, Nos. 1, 2, 8, 3, 4, and sample,
the last including all not in the first
five. All standards are fixed on a
dockage basis. Grain free from dock
age that contains more than six per
cent. of grain other than wheat, will
not be classified as wheat.
No. ! hard red spring wheat must
contain not more than two per cent Of
other wheat, not more than 1871 per
cent of moisture, weight not less than
SO pounds to the bushel, contain not
more than one per cent of damaged
kernels and contain not more than
five-tenths OF one per cent of INSOFAR
able foreign materials. ,zz. 81 -s.r,ef;,,, Is \
A moisture content OF 14115s per cent
is allowed for Nos. 2hand a. of this
class and 15k per cent for Nos. 4
and 5. Other standards are lowered
proportionally.
The standards for common and red
durum virtually are the same as for
hard red spring except test weight
of 81 pounds to the bushel is required
for No. /.
Moisture content for hard red win
ter and soft red winter wheat is linn
tied to IS per cent for No. l and Is
per cent for No. 5. A test weight of
at least 81 pounds to the bushel is re-
quired for No. /.
Common white and white club are
limited to the same moisture content
for No. 1. They must weigh at least
so pounds to the bushel.
The rules provide mixed wheat shall
be graded and designated according
to the requirements Of the class pre-
dominating.

Barnes County Farmers
Getting. Seed in Ground

According to reports to the Times.
Record the farmers of Barnes county
were practically all in their fields Mon
day and wheat seeding was well un-
der way. They had been at work for
a couple of days last week getting
ready for seeding, but only in few
cases was actual seeding begun.
So far as we can learn there were
but four who had grain in Saturday
night. Matt Maresh, on the Frank
Towne farm southwest, AL. Heimes,
ten miles north, Jake Schafer, north
of town and Tom Gassman, five miles
southwest, were the men who set the
record this year.
All reports indicate that in spite Of
the great snowfall of the winter the.
ground is in splendid condition, if any
thing little dr., and tat wheat goes
into the ground with splendid pros
poets for quick, even termination and
a probable good crop.
START FRIDAY AT FORKS
Grand Forks, March 31.-Credit for
the first seeding in this section of the
country goes to William Doty, a far
mer of Blooming township, who yes
terday began operations for the spring
work, several acres of wheat being
planted during the day. Mr.. Doty re-
ports the ground in excellent condi-
ton, fully as far advanced as it has
been several weeks later in other
years. He says that as soon as the
land upon which he is at present work
ing is seeded, other places will be
ready for the drill.
With weather conditions as they
have been the past week, farmers in
this section will be on the land in a
very few days and seeding operations
will be quite general by next week
Farmers report conditions to be prac-
tically ideal, many weeks in advance
Of last year.
SEEDING IN STUTsMAN COUNTY
jamestown, March 31.-Farmers in
the vicinity of Jamestown yesterday
started work in their fields in real
earnest. Some are discing, others
dragging, while a number, who have
farms on high ground, are sowing
their spring wheat. With continu-
ance of the balmy weather experience
ed during the past few days it is ex-
pected the majority of the farmers in
this section will have their spring
seeding completed in another week.

Not Enough Seed Wheat
Raised in Marion

The results after the harvesting and
threshing of the wheat crop in Marion
county are most unsatisfactory. Not
enough wheat was grown to plant this
fall for a new crop. Such was the
verdict of a number of prominent
farmers at Jasper Monday, among
them being county demonstration
Agent F. N. Hutchinson. 1t will be
necessary to send out of the county
for seed, and arrangements are now
being made thru the Farmers Union
of the county to send elsewhere and
get carload of seed wheat. The re-
turns per acre we're very meagre, av-
eraging less than FIVE bushels per acre,
counting the acreage that was not
turned anew and replanted. The pur-
chase of seed wheat outside the county
after losing their wheat crop this year
Is going to be a heavy blow to the
farmers, many of whom on account of
the high price of seed wheat, from
81. so to $2.7O, will have to borrow
money to get seed

Dr.. Lamb Injured.

DR.. J. A. Lamb suffered a
sprain of the left shoulder and a
broken arm last Friday morning,
when his horse in passing over
the bridge near the Methodist
church fell throwing him violent
ly to the ground. with the above
result. He was removed to his
home and DR.. J. L. Seay, of
Whitwell, was called in consulta-
ton with Drs. Smith and Stande-
fer. They set and dressed the
injured parts, but decided that
an X-ray examination would be
necessary to determine the extent
of his injuries. He was taken to
Chattanooga Saturday morning
where an examination revealed
the fact that his shoulder and arm
were injured as above stated.
The break was reset and the Shout
der treated and, at last accounts,
the patient was doing as nicely as
could be expected. He intends
coming home TODAY and, no doubt,
will be himself again in a a short
time. Dunlap Tribune.
