Farm Community Organized

What a farm community can do
1or its own progress is we'll shown
with the Burwood community, Will
laimson county, Tenn. This COM
munity, encouraged by the county
agent, formed an organization which
embraced mems interests, women's
interests, canning clubs, corn clubs,
and poultry clubs. In this way they
received a community charter and
proceeded to work. When the wheat
increase was asked, 50 acres was
assigned to Burwood community;
the community came across with 323
acres in ten days. Similarly organ
lied communities made it possible
for Williamson county to pledge an
increased acreage OF 1000, while the
county was asked for only 1869
acres.

Charges of embezzlement against
William Mccall. former township
treasurer of Chandler township,
Grady county, we're dismissed yester-

GIVE RULE
ON GRADES
OF WHEAT
Farmer Report Cases Where
Double Penalization on Wheat
Has Been Made; Lower
Grade and Dock.

Regulations for the grading of
wheat are not being closely observed
in Grady county, according to the
information given out this morning
from the office of j. w. Owens,
county agricultural agent.
Mr.. Owens, commenting on the con
dition, said;
Complaint has reached the county
agents office from farmers saying
that in some instances. a double pen
alization is being used in grading
what That is to say, that farmers
are being docked for weed seeds
and other foreign matter in their
wheat and also having the grade
lowered for the same reason.
I'm commenting on this method OF
grading the county agent wishes to
inform the farmer that it is per-
fectly legitimate for the dealer to
use dockage equipment in order TO
determine the per cent of foreign
matter, but after this is done the
test must be made on the clean
wheat and bought on that basis.
For example, farmer may take
a load of wheat to the elevator
which is No. or No 2. no matter
how much weed seed, chaff or other
foreign matter it may contain The
elevator man uses the dockage on
this wheat and ascertains the per
centage of same The elevator man
then has no right to lower the grade
of this wheat because it really con
tains this material justifying dock.
IF there is any question as to the
grade and the farmer and purchaser
can not agree, then the elevator man
should take a sample, receipt the
farmer for it and have it sent to an
official grader, whose decision in es-
tablishing the grade and the dockage
will be final
There is absolutely no reason for
farmers selling their wheat below
the price set by the government if
they know their grades, dockage
and the prevailing freight rates at
loading stations. It is to be hoped
that no dissatisfaction arises in
Grady county"
