Chevrolet Breaks
Production Records

DETROIT, Dec. 21.-Surpassing by
10000 cars and trucks it's previous
record annual achievement, the Chew
rolet Motor company, this year, will
manufacture 100000 automobiles, it
was announced at the central offices
here today. Due to the tremendous
popularity of the six cylinder car, in
troduced year ago, 1929 will be by
wide margin the greatest year in
Chevrolet history.
Chevrolet officials announce that
daily, weekly and monthly production
records were broken over and over
again during 1929 Perhaps the most
significant achievement of Chevrolet
this year was the placing of million
cars on the road in less than eight
months. Although the first Chevrolet
six did not go onto the streets until
last January first, there were a mil

TELLS REQUIREMENTS
OF WHEAT GRADES

BOHEMIAN, Nov. 18.-Spring wheat
must weigh at least So pounds to the
'bushel if it is to grade No. l, but
percentage of moisture and amount of
dockage and foreign material, says
E. J. Bell, Jr., of the departmnt of
agricultural economics at Montana
State College.
The official grades in use in this
country, Mr.. Bell explains, are fixed
by the United States department of
agriculture and are recognized at all
important wheat marketing centers.
There have been changes in grade
requirements but the spring wheat
standards in effect at the present
time have remained unchanged for
several years. The last change oc-
cured several years ago largely at
the request of Montana farmers to
give recognition to the hard spring
wheats produced in the Northwest. At
that time new classification was
added known as Hard Spring." the
highest officially recognized wheat
class.
There are three other hard red
spring wheat classes, according to Mr..
Bell: Dark Northern Spring, North
ern Spring and Red Spring Wheat is
placed in one or the other of these
classes in accordance with the per-
centage of dark, hard, vitreous kerr
nels" Dark Northern Spring contains
more than rs per cent of such kerr
nels; Northern Spring, rs to rs per
cent; and Red Spring less than 25
per cent.
If wheat is to grade No. in any of
these three classes it must weigh
at least So pounds to the bushel and
may contain not over Ia per cent
moisture, two per cent damaged kerr
nels, one per cent foreign material
other than dockage or five per cent
wheat Of other classes. In addition
there may be not more than one
tenth Of one per cent of heat dam
aged kernels, not more than one-half
Of one per cent of foreign material
other than cereal grains and not more
than two per cent of durum wheat.
To classify as Hard Spring, the
most recently established grade class
ification, wheat must weigh at least
60 pounds to the bushel and it must
have at least IS per cent of dark.
hard, vitreous kernels. Otherwise the
requirements for this class are the
same as for No. | wheat in the other
classes.
