A party living north of Kramer
took a load of seed wheat over. south
east of Bottineau last spring where it
was sown. The crop raised from it was
sold at different places all grading,
Mixed Durum. Seed wheat from the
same bin was sowr to a large extent
north of Kramer and the resulting crop
marketed at several elevators in Kra-
mer, all grading No. l Amber Durum.
There was no possible difference in
the wheat, yet the Amber brought 10
or IL cents more per bushel. The facts
in the case could be multiplied by
thousands and tens of thousands of
cases over the state. Thus the basic
industry has become the prey of a
bunch of pirates. It is not strange they.
are fighting the state grain grading
law. .@
