50 energetlcaly that . state grain IN
/ spect1on service was created. Nowhere
IN the world was there public grain
/ inspection service, and the step taken
BY Minnesota was regarded II th
| business world as revolutionary
1885, when It started. Not many years
/ after, everybody was doing it. The
benefits we're SO clear and 50 great
| that other grain states followed the
Minnesota lead and adopted her plan
to protect the farmers and to insure
them honest weights and honest grades
for their grain Canada even went q
| step further and instead Of each prov
ince having separate inspection serv-
| ices, the entire Dominion had the
| same class Of inspection service. This
insures uniformity in rules and III
| service and IS q very desirable thing
| for al interests.
| tt is nearly 35 years since the farm
| ers launched their important move
ment for public regulation Of the
grain trade and IN that time immense
progress has been made. Minnesota,
as ali of you know, has been at the
| fore front Of this advance. As a re-
suit not only of the enterprise Of the
| grain service, but Of it's efficiency and
integrity, the Minnesota grades were
accepted III all the markets OF TINS
country, but even IN Europe while the
state certificates OF weights are ac-
cepted without question, BY shippers.
receivers and the railroad.
But there is nothing surprising IN
that. In tho years that have gone
there has been trained and organized
into effective team work as capable
and as trustworthy gram lnspec-
ton and weighing force as there Is
to be found IN the world. Ihls - not
