FEDERAL STANDARDS

With Passing of Misapprehenslon In.
creasing Sentiment Is Being Mani
tested in Favor of Purchase
and Sale by Grade.

MISUNDERSTANDING rs 10 the appli"a-
ton of the federal grain standards
ami aS 10 The benefits to be derived
from the sal" of grain upon a grade
basis have been the cause of conSid-
cradle dissatisfaction among produc-
erS and country elevator operators,
but with the passing of those miSnp-
prrhenSionS an ever-incrcaSing Senti-
m"nt is being manifested In favor of
th" purchase and sale 10y Grade at
country points.
The old system of basiug the price
n which wheat or other grain was
bought from the farmer upon the aver
age quality of the crop in any com
munity or section was totally unfair
to the producer of good grain. Under
the "mine-run" basis of purchasing
grain the producer of good grain re
ceived no more for his clean. heavy
wheat than did the producer Of light
weight and otherwise inferior grain.
Instead Of a premium upon heavy
grain, a premium was paid upon in
fcriOr products.
The application of federal grain
standards is calculated TO prevent such
inequality. and as experience is being
had under the grading system growers
are finding that the purpose sought is
being accomplished.

houses a bucket pump, knapsack
sprayer or barrel pump Is desirable. A
rather coarse spray should be applied
from all angles and thoroughly driven
into the cracks. The floors should also
be treated.
In tests conducted by the United
States Department Of Agriculture dur
ing the last four years several differ
ent materials used as sprays have
proved effective against mites. Com
mercial carbOlineum, which consists
essentially of n high-grade anthracene
oil, has proved very effective. The
killing power Of this substance, which
Is derived from coal tar, lasts for sew
eral months, and mites which may be
inclined to come In from other build
ings are repealed for n long time. This
material is rather eXpensive-abOut$ 81
a gallon-but since the number Of
treatments necessary to control an in
festation of mites completely Is less
than that required when any other
known material is used, its application
is strongly advised.
Crude petroleum, while not so effec-
tive as carbOlineum, retains its killing
power for several weeks, and In most
| localities is very cheap. Since II does
not dry into the wood so rapidly, Ii Is
more likely TO soil the fowls and cloth
ing. These materials can be sprayed

often contain foreign particles which

spraying is begun.
