Grading Samples in Grain Inspection OFFICES.

Special provision was made for the
solution of problems in behalf of agri
culture, embracing marketing and rurai
finance. The bureau of markets, unique
of its kind and excelling in range Of
activities and in financial support any
other similar existing organization
was created and is rendering effective
service in a great number of direc-
tons. Standards for staple agricul,
tural products We're provided for and
have been announced and applied un,
der the terms of the cotton futures and
grain standards acts. Authority to IL
cense bonded warehouses which ham
ole certain agricultural products was
given to the department. and the indi-
cations are that, with the return of
normal conditions, the operation of the
act will result in the better storing of
farm products, the sterilization of mar
keting processes. and the issuance Of
more easily negotiable warehouse re-
ceipts.
'The agricultural extension machin-
cry, the greatest educational system
ever devised for men and women en-
gagged in their daily tasks, had very
large and striking development. The
federal aid road act, approved shortly
before this country entered the war,

benefited every citizen through its in

Union, included provisions especially

OFFICIAL GRAIN
GRADE is GIVEN
All That Is Necessary Is to Sub
nit Sample of Required Vol
ume in Prescribed Form.
WHEAT AND CORN STANDARDS
Principal Benefit to Farmer Is That
He Gets Correct Grading by Disin-
terested Inspector as Basis
for Prices.

The farmer, the country buyer, the
miller, or anyone else may have sam
PIES of wheat or shelled corn inspected
and graded by grain inspectors IL
censed by the secretary of agriculture.
All that is necessary is to send sam
pie of the required volume in the pre-.
scribed form and to pay the inspection
fee.
No such service was ever rendered
until within the last few months. So
far official standards have been estab-
lished for wheat and shelled corn only.
Proposed grades have been published
for oats. and it is probable that Off
eial standards will be established for
the 1919 oat crop.
Grading by Inspectors.
Grading is done only by grain In
spectors licensed by the secretary of
agriculture. The officers of federal
grain supervision, bureau of markets
do not inspect and grade wheat OF
| shelled corn except when an appeal
has been entertained on a grade as
signed by a licensed inspector, or
where a dispute as to uninspeeted
grain has been referred to the score
| tary of agriculture.
The offices of the federal grain su.
parvision. however, may furnish the
names of the nearest inspectors with
1 advice as to taking and forwarding
samples, to persons who desire to have
samples inspected. There is no pre-.
seribed fee for grading samples, but
the secretary has specified that fees
shall be reasonable. This information
can be obtained from the nearest fed
eral grain Inspector. The list of Offices
is given in the accompanying box
When grade is assigned on samples
submitted, the inspection certificate
covers only the sample, it being spe-
cifically set out that such grading does
not apply to the entire lot from which
the sample was taken. Unless the in.
i spector himself or an official sampler
takes the sample from the lot of grain
he is not permitted to certify further
than as to the sample submitted In
most cases of contemplated purchase
however, it probably happens that the
interested parties agree that the sam
pie is representative and that the grade
given shall apply to the entire lot OF
wheat or shelled corn.
Size of Samples.
The size of the sample submitted
and the manner of forwarding it ar,
important factors in enabling the in
7 sDectors to determine the correc
grade. The sample. should be reprcsen
tative of the entire lot of grain. I
should be at least two quarts in vol
unle, one and an eighth pints of which
should be placed in an alright con
| timer and the balance enclosed in
| clean cloth sack. Samples sent in pa
| per bags, cigar boxes or other make
shift containers cannot be properl
Il graded.
II The principal benefit to the farIne
Il is that he has correct grading by
! disinterested inspector as a basis fo
prices. The same advantage accrue
Z to the miller or dealer, with the add
tional feature of the check upon hi
own grading if he has sought to e.
tablish the grade in accordance wit
federal standards.
