Jamestown weekly alert. [volume] (Jamestown, Stutsman County, D.T. [N.D.]) 1882-1925, 1920-04-01

as follows: This subclass shall In
clude wheat of the class Hard Rel
Spring consisting of more than ten
(10) percentum of the variety
Humpback." This would necessitate
changing the definition of the sub
class Northern Ring" SO as to read
as follows: "This subclass shall in
clude wheat of the class Hard Red
Spring, consisting OF less than sew
enty-five (75) percentum Of Dark,
Hard and Vitreous kernels. This
subclass shall not include more than
ten (10) percentum OF wheat Of the
variety Humpback."
2-1n place of the requirement In
all of the No. / grades in the Hard
Red Spring and Durum classes that
the wheat in grade No. l shall he
Bright" provide that the wheat IN
all Of these No. 1 grades shall be II
gold color"
3-Make the maximum percentage
Of moisture allowed in all grades
from No. ! to No. S, inclusive, in the
Hard Red Spring and Durum classes
fifteen (15) percentum, and provide
that all wheat in these classes hav-
ing more than fifteen (15) percent
um moisture shall grade sample
grade, making a regulation that all
licensed grain inspectors in grading
the wheat In these two classes shall
state the exact percentage Of mois-
ture on the grain inspection certifi-
Gates when 1t exceeds fifteen (15)
percentum. AS an alternative for
the foregoing make the fifteen PEI
'centum limit apply only to the first
three grades-No. /, No. 2, No. 3
and let the limit remain at sixteen
percentum for No. and No. 5, as
it is now in the federal grades. I'm
der this alternative also make the
regulation requiring the inspectors to
show the exact moisture content on
their certificates when over fifteen
percentum.
Change the requirements with
respect to wheat of other classes in
grade No. I in all subclasses Of Hard
Red Spring wheat so that the present
limit of five go percentum on the
total wheats of other classes will in
clude Durum wheat, and so that the
special limitation of two (2) per-
centum shall apply only to the COM
mon white and white club wheats,
leaving the lower grades. as they are
now. No change in the allowance
for wheat Of other classes in grade
No. in the three subclasses of Du-
rum wheat.
5-1ncrease the allowance for to-
tai foreign material other than dock
age in each of the grades from No. I
or No. S, inclusive, in the Hard Red
Spring and Durum classes so as to
permit the addition of one 1) per-
centum of rye in each of these
grades, but not to complicate the
grading requirements.
6--Reduce the present limit for
test weight per bushel for each grad,
in Hard Red Spring wheat by one
pound.
The question whether there shall
be changes in the present federal
standards for wheat is so important
and effects SO many interests in ad-
dition to those represented at the
hearing on March 1s that have de-
cfded to hold public hearing at Chi
cago, Illinois, on Friday, April 2,
1920, at the Hotel LaSalle, beginning
at 10000 an. At that hearing it IS
Of the greatest Importance that far
mers, country buyers, line and ter
minal elevator men, commission
men, brokers, exporters, millers,
grain inspectors, and others interest
ed In the production, storage, trans
marketing and utilization
Of wheat be represented and that
they present to me their views as to:
Whether either Of the above
proposals submitted. by the delega-
tion should be adopted.
2-Whether corresponding changes
should be made in other classes Of
wheat.
Whether in view Of the require
ment Of the three months advance
notice It is practicable to make
changes applicable to the 1920 crop.5
Whether changes should be-
made until after the present stand
ards a'''ia' have been tested without nxsd
price conditions. 4 q. 81
