The railway has been demolished and supplies can reach Adana only by motor trucks. heavily conveyed, with great loss of life through the 60 mile stretch controlled by the followers of Mustapha Renal Pasha, the Turkish nationalist leader, who are determined to starvc out the French in Adana.
 The siege was described to the cor respondent by Webster Anderson, of Charlottesville. Ind, who has arrived in Constantinople after escaping from Adana on August. and walking southeast to the Mediterranean. The Turks encircling Adana have little ar tillery, according to Anderson, and. consequently, make raids chiefly at
  Thus far the Americans have not been injured. but their buildings have been peppered and they have not been able to leave the compounds at night.
 The French artillery in Adana kills many Turks and affords cover for the troops which make frequent sallies into the surrounding farms and vine yards for food. The Americans are maintaining soup kitchens and work shops for 10000 Armenian refugees. All of the orphans of Adana. with the exception of 300. have been sent to Cyprus.

In grading wheat under the federal
standards one of the fundamental
principles Is to determine the numeri-
cal grade on dockage-free basis
that Is, the dockage is first removed
from the sample and the grade deter
mination is made on the clean or dock
age-free wheat. A few exceptions to
this principle are noted in the follow
ing pages.
What Is dockage? 1t is the foreign
material screened from sample of
wheat to be graded, by the use of ap-
propriate hand sleeves or other clean
ing devices, such as those approved
by the United States department of
agriculture. 1t consists of sand, dirt,
weed seeds, weed stems, chaff, straw,
grain other than wheat, any other for
eign material, and in certain cases
some finely broken and small shriy-
eled kernels Of wheat.

sion In the wheat standards Is to ena-

sist Of either useful or harmful

When a large percentage Of

advisable to remove 1t on the
