Applications of the Standards
All branches of the grain industry
are vitality interested in the grades
as originally promulgated and as re
vised apd in their uniform and i'm
partial application. The department
having been charged with the re-
sponsibility of putting them into eff
feet, is impartially discharging thai
responsibility with vigilance and in
creasing efficiency.
Prior to the establishment of the
standards under the United State.
grain standards act there was little
uniformity either in the standards il
use or in their application by The
various boards of trade, chambers o
commerce, and other similar organi
cations. Grain which would be giVer
a certain grade in one market nigh
be given an entirely different grade
according to entirely different stand
ards in some other market. Unde
the standards then in use uniform
price basis applicable to the entir
United States for a particular elias
of grain of a given quality was prac
tically impossible. 1t is true tina
under the federal standards, ant
with federal supervision, variation
may and do occur in the grade as
signed a particular lot of grain b,
two or more licensed inspectors
Such variations in grade are not du'
necessarily to the inefficiency of tn
licensed inspectors, but may b.
caused by differences in samples up
on which inspectors based the grade
Variations of this kind are certain Il
occur. regardless of the standard
under which the grain is graded
