PULLMAN WANTS SIXTY
| POUND WHEAT TEST
c4o,,ber of Commerce Wires Secre-
tarv Wallace Recommending No
Change in Present
Standards

.0The Pullman chamber of COM
merce. situated in the heart of the
palouse wheat country, recommends
,bat the test weight of white wheats
remain at 60 cents as at present. .
Above is the sentiment of the citi-
,ons of Pullman and the farmers of
tbe community as expressed in a
telegram sent Tuesday to Henry
Wallace. secretary of agriculture,
e washington, D. c. Following a re-
\ mort bv H. H. Curtis, who represent
ed the Pullman chamber of COM
& merce at the federal grades hearing
held in Spokane last Saturday, the
chamber of commerce passed unani-
N mously motion proposed by Profess
sor E. G. Schafer, head of the de-
4 partment of farm crops at the State
College. to the effect that the agri-
cultural committee of the chamber
he instructed to consider the advisa-
blity of submitting a telegram pro-
posing 60-pound test weight to
the secretary of agriculture Fol-
q lowing a committee discussion of
fthe situation the telegram was for
warded.
In his report tc the chamber on
the Spokane meeting, where a S.
pound test weight for white wheat
was endorsed, Mr.. Curtis presented
chart showing the various weights
the amount of flour produced by a
bushel of wheat of each specified
weight, and the price paid the pro-
ducer on a basis of $1.00 per bushel
T for No l. The chart indicated that
/ while the farmer who produces
/ wheat testing less than the proposed
IS pounds would be "docked," the
grain grower who raises wheat test
4 Ing above 58 pounds, and with a
COrrespondingly greater flour con-
tent, would receive no premium for
( his better wheat Hence, with a
white wheat that in 70 per cent of
the cases tests well above the s.
4 pound mark, the Palouse country
farmers would receive no more for
+ their product than the farmer in
less favored sections who produces
II lighter wheat with a lighter flour
content.
