Device for Determining
Water in Commodities

Methods for determining quickly
the moisture content of rice and other
grains have been perfected by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The methods are an improve
ment of those employed with the
Brown-Duvel moisture tester used
In connection with official grain stand
ards. They may be applied TO rice,
seeds, flour and meal. and other COM
moditles which contain a large per-
centage Of water.
A single moisture determination on
grain can be made In % or 30 min
utes with the improved methods and,
with "A six-compartment tester, six
tests can be made In approximately
the same time as for a single test.
One man and n helper, using six-com-
partment machines can make 200 or
more tests In eight hours.

construction specifications have been

prepared by the United States Department
or AgricultNre.)
The modified hot-water treatment of
seed wheat for control of loose smut
is somewhat difficult of application by
the individual farmer. The seed is
soaked, and, when there ere broken
coats, termination is reduced. says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Because of this objection ex-
periments were undertaken for the
purpose of developing a more accept
able method of treating wheat, the re-
suits of which have been published
In Department Bulletin No. 1888, "Sin-
gle-Bath Hot Water and STERN Treat
ments of Seed Wheat for the Control
Of Loose Smut"
Single Bath Treatments.
Single-bath hot-water treatments
were applied by immerslng wheat in
half-flled sacks in water held at a
constant temperature during definite
periods, the duration of treatment ex
tending from 80 minutes to 4 hours,
and the temperature from 46 degrees
to 81 degrees centigrade. A number
of single-bath treatments with differ
ent durations and temperatures con
trolled loose smut and bunt, but the
treatments ut As degrees centigrade
for l hour so minutes and at 40 de
grees centigrade for l hour 30 minutes
gave best results.
Wheat given the latter two treat-
ment in comparison with %untreated
seed showed poorer termination, the
seedlings emerged more slowly, the
plants produced slightly less, and the
yield was more adversely affected by
u%nfavorable soil conditions. The same
wheat treated by the single-bath meth
DDS In comparison with that treated
by the modified hot-water method in
varlably terminated better, the seed
lings emerged more rapidly, the plants
yielded considerably more, and the
yield was not so adversely affected by
u%nfavorable soil conditions. Expert.
ments in steam treatment of wheat
gave somewhat similar results.
Study of Treatment.
The single-bath hot-water and steam
treatments were studied only from the
viewpoint OF application ut co-operC,

large quantities of seed wheat. a copy

u. S. SEEKING HIGHER STANDARDS
OF LIVING BY ECONOMIC MEANS
Through Utilizing and Manipulating Supply and De-
mand, 1t Is Hoped on Large National
Scale to Elevate Conditions.

The agriculturist realizes that stand

the things he buys. When industry
raises the price of labor and attracts
labor away from the farm, the farmer.
facing a turnover controlled by sea-
sons, and expenditures continually in
creasing, finds his market definitely
related to population and therefore
restricted. Further. appetites for
luxury seem to multiply more rapidly
than appetites for the necessities of
life. while still another uncorrelated
ethical experiment has affected, the
consumption Of his corn. barley and
rye. Shall he. too. seek international
markets for his surplus? Must he
curtail production. resort to interna-
tional dumping" or abando the i'm
profitable farm?
We cannot deal too literally with
standards of living-as though they
were measurable quantities which
would grade 100 per cent for a cos
mopolite and per cent for Trap
pist monk. This would be a material
istic rating. From a spiritual stand
point, however, the ratings might
easily be reversed. But industrially,
at least. there exists relation be.
tween raw materials. prices and
standards Of living.
Other nations may take advantage
of invention and the teachings of
science. for the angel of peace and
plenty did not confine these gifts to
one nation: they belong to humanity
and are the heritage of intelligence
and culture. We then face the situa-
ton where equality of methods may
exist, but with an inequality in the
price Of manpower. This again points
to the necessity of international CO.
operation. The isolationist is no
longer the possessor Of an oasis in a
desert, for the shifting sands may
bury his oasis and he becomes a part
Of the desert once more.
