MONTANA WHEAT
GRADES UP WELL
PROTEIN TESTS SHOW HIGHER
STANDARD FOR QUALITY
THAN WAS EXPECTED.

Through continued testing of sam
pies at the local laboratory of the
Montana grain inspection depart
ment it has been revealed that nor
thern and central Montana wheat is
of a higher standard of quality than
appeared probable earlier in the year
when adverse moisture conditions
were experienced during the matur-
ing and harvest seasons.
With something less than one-half
of the seasons samples inspected, a
range of grades has been determined
that show that in spite of the heavy
precipitation of the summer, Mon
tana's crop will average in quality
but slightly below the high mark that
was SO potent a factor in establishing
the state as a great wheat growing
area.
1876 Protein Content
The protein tester installed in the
laboratory in Great Falls this
fall has shown a large proportion of
the samples received to average
around 1875 in protein content, with
some as low as IL and others reach
ing the high figure of 16 and even
above. A mark of 1875 establishes
a very good quality and wheat test
ing above that figure enters the
fancy grades.
The demand this fall for the higher
of Montana wheat has created
1 price ranging up to six cents above
he option grade. Wheat in northern
central Montana is bought on a
lard showing two premium grades
above No. / northern, the option
grade. The premium grades are des-
as clark northern" and

Whether a wheat sample can COM

mand a premium grade depends up
on the protein content and the in.
stallation of a protein tester at the
state laboratory this fall makes pos.
sible a quicker analysis of samples
sent in than was possible without
the new apparatus. Formerly, it was
necessary to await returns from Min
neapolis or other of the larger termin-
ais if protein tests were desired.
Expect 5000 Tests
A considerable increase in the num-
Der of samples tested at the Great
Falls laboratory is expected this fall
by James Atkins, deputy inspector
who is in charge during the tenn
porary absence of State Inspector G..
H. Moran. Last year, 1908 carloads
and 645 mail samples we're tested,
and this year a total of nearly 5000
carload and mail samples are ex-
pected.
Wheat samples from northern and
central Montana are showing a high
er grade than we expected earlier in
the fall" said Mr.. Atkins. Spring
wheat is running higher than winter
wheat, but the proportion of the lat
ter is small. The milling quality of
spring wheat is in many cases prov
ing to be only slightly below last
years crop, while many samples are
fully up to the Montana standard.
Bleaching was caused to an ex-
tent by the heavy rainfall of the sum-

the quality as determined by the pro-
tein test is maintaining itself at a
average than had been consid-
cred probable. Smut appears to af-
feet about the same proportion of the
crop as it did last year, but as a gen
eral thing it is not so heavy. Some
samples have been received that show
few sprouted kernals, but these
have begun to appear only recently
and the proportion will be small"

Eaton felt he was pallng as he
faced the clustering smaller man. He
realized that the passengers he could

already had judged his explanation
and found him wanting; the others
unquestlonably had done the same.
Avery was gazing up at him with .
sort Of contented triumph.
"The telegram was for me, Conduc-

stout man demanded again.

Connery gazed from one claimant

"Then I shall furnish him another

train by our express clerk as the op.

other copy"
'That's for you to decide" Eaton
said; and as though the matter was
closed for him. he resumed his seat.
He was aware that, throughout the
car the passengers were watching him
curiously.

car now, Harriet?' Avery inquired

"Shall we all 90 back to the obser.

They went through the Pullmans to-
gether.
The first Pullman contained four or
five passengers; the next, In which
Eaton had his berth, was still empty
as they passed through. The next
Pullman also. at first glance, seemed
to have been deserted In favor of the
