SAYS LOCAL DEALERS
NOT SCREENING GRAIN
Cracked and Shriveled Wheat Not
DOckage, According to Grain Inspec-
tOr-Misuse of Screen Common
Fault of Most Grain Men.

Charges that the local grain grad
ers were not using reclaiming screens,
but were allowing cracked and shriv-
eled wheat to go in as dockage, and
further charges that the tunnels We're
not being properly used, causing the
sacks to be improperly filled, We're
made by State Grain Inspector Shee-
han, who. with g. w. Morgan Of Salt
Lake, federal superintendent of grain
grading, had charge of the grain grad
ing school held here Monday and Tues
day
Mr.. Shechan contends that cracked
and shriyeled wheat are not dockage
for they make as good flour as unaf-
fected grain. and that the use of the
pan sieve prevents these two from go
ing into the chaff pile. He declared
that he had found much the same
trouble in good many places in the
state and it is a big point of conten-
ton between the state department and
the grain graders.
The other point of contention which
Mr. Sheehan brought out was that the
funnel should be placed two inches
above the screen, and any change from
this rule above or below will make d
difference in the packing and work
an injustice on the farmer.
The two points of contention have
been noted in other parts of the state
according to Mr.. Sheehan, and he is
trying to eliminate them for the bene-
fit of the farmer. One other point
which does not affect the local grad
ers, is the use. in many other parts
of the state of flax screen which
let's lots of the good grain slip through

ROCKLAND BOY INJURED.

Matthew Fifield, son Of VIII Fifield,
a well known farmer in the Rockland
vicinity, sustained serious injuries in
the harvest field last Friday after
noon when he fell under harvester.
Young Flfield was at work on com
bine in the field Of Joe May, sacklng

he lost his balance and fell under the
machine. The heavy wheel passed oy-
er his shoulder breaking his shouldl-
or blade, cut cash in his scalp and
in his leg, and wrenched his back.
He was rushed TO Rockland for medi-
cal attention where he soon rallied

GOOD ROADS WILL NOT IN
CREASE TAXES.

"As long as we have to pay
the maximum tax to maintain
our roads, why not have good
ones? 1t won't cost any more"
says Irwin Alfred, county engi-
neer. And it is a thought worth
considering. We are now pay
ing a tax levy of six mills
which is the maximum that the,
law allows to maintain poor
roads in highway district No. /.
By bonding for a substantial :
sum we would have many miles
of hard surfaced roads, good
the year through and the cost
per year would not be more.
Then, too, if we will vote
$150,000 for good roads the
state has promised to give us
100000 additional and will ev-
en- go so far as to build the
road all the way across the
Indian reservation between
here and Pocatello. You will
have a chance to vote on the
bonds August Goth, Study the
issue, consult the highway COM
missioners, and be prepared to
take advantage of the biggest
opportunity the country has
ever bad to procure good roads.
