oeen decided upon by Secretary Mere,
ulth IN an opinion covering HEARINGS
reld TO inquire into dissatisfaction in
the central northwest with existino
grades for hard red spring and Durrn,
wheats. Requests for lowering tho
present standards, the secretary an
nounced, would tend to decrease tho
return to farmers, while advocates If
the change argued that the producer
would receive more money for his
wheat.
The federal standards, established
IN 1917 and revised in 1918, have been
operative only under fixed price and
war conditions, the secretary stated
adding that opportunity for fair tests
OF their merits or defects has not been
afforded under normal marketing con.
