has already begun in wheat that is
d I'M ged before harvest. This is
especially true with green kernels,
frost damaged, and sprouted kernels.
The insect problem in stored grain
usually arises only in grain of high
moisture. Fortunately in Montana,
insects infesting stored grain are
relatively few, but those present will
multiply in damp grain and cause
serious damage. Temperatures be-
tween 40 and so degrees F. allow
little development of insects. High
moisture wheat, however, may heat
up to 30 or 80 degrees which is the
optimum temperature range for
rapid insect propagation. Normally
few insects will develop at tempera-
lures higher than 100 degrees.
A summary of factors affecting
the keeping quality of wheat would
include the following:
/. Wheat is alive. It carries on res
piration.
2. Heat is given off during respira-
ton.
8. At IA to 14.5 percent moisture,
respiration is held to a minimum.
4. Respiration speeds up and more
heat is given off as the moisture con-
tent increases.
5. In the presence of air, high
moisture wheat kernels viii sprout.
Without air, decomposition begins.
6. Insect infestation usually arises
only in wheat of high moisture con-
tent.
I. Milling quality as well as its
value for seed is low in wheat that
has begun to deteriorate because Of
high moisture.

steel bins or loaded in box cars for
shipment.
Hard wheats will carry" more
moisture than soft wheats without
heating. The chemical activity rela-
tive to respiration is more rapid in
soft starchy wheats. More heat is
given off during the process and de-
terioration may begin much sooner
than in hard wheats stored under the
same conditions.
Plumpness affects the rate of heat
ing. Shrivelled VIII eat has b en-
found to heat two to three times
faster than plump kernels when the
moisture content is over IA percent.
This is attributed to the higher ratio
of germ to the total size of the kerr
mel. Below IA percent moisture,
where respiration is at a minimum,
plumpness of the kernel viii have
little or no effect on keeping quality.
Frost and sprout damaged wheat
is more likely to ego out of condition"
than sound wheat Of the same mois-
ture content. Actually, deterioration

The expression, bringing home

lar one. The expression probably
had its origin in village near Lon

wheat is its moisture content.
Because the moisture factor is so
important in relation to wheat quail
ity, the federal grain standards pro-
vide maximum limits of moisture for
the various wheat classes. In addi-
ton, a special grade of Tough" is
defined for lower moisture ranges in
which the keeping quality may be
in doubt. This special grade Tough"
indicates that special handling and
storage must be provided to keep
the grain from ''going out Of condi-
ton"

wheat
erly handled, may Ego out of condi-
ton" by becoming musty, sour, or
by heating. On the surface Of a bin,
where air is accessible, the Wheat
kernels may even start to sprout.
This gives us one of the main reasons
why wheat will deteriorate in stor-
age when the moisture content is
above IA to 14.5 percent
The reason is that wheat is alive
Il win grow-and 70 stay alive and
eventually grow il must carry on
respiration.
This process of respiration is car
ried on very slowly when the mois-
ture content is below about IA per-
cent and the grain is cool. It is just
fast enough to keep the wheat germ
alive. The process speeds up, how
ever, as the moisture content in
creases. In wheat, respiration in
wolves chemical changes within the
kernels and heat is given off. If air
is present the kernels will sprout.
Without air decomposition begins,
the wheat may become sour, fungi
causing mustiness begins TO develop,
and in prolonged storage complete
decomposition may occur,
Wheat may be damaged if it heats
up much above 100 degrees F. in the
presence of IA or 14.5 percent mois-
ture. There is damage to the milling
quality Of the wheat though the kerr
nels may show but little sign of biz
burning to the eye.
Other Factors
Although moisture is one of tht
determining factors in respiration
and the ultimate heating of grain il
storage, it alone does not necessarily
determine whether or not whea

of wheat being stored at cold tenn
peratures carrying Is to 19 percen
moisture without heating. On tn,

Can the Savoys make it five in a
row?
Manager Hiro Sasaki's Savoys
frightened their baseball fortunes al
the expense of the fading Seattle
Grays by pounding out a 1875 victo-
ry last Sunday in a Pugt Sound tilt.
1t was the fourth consecutive tri-
umph for the Nisei nine which has
been roaring along at driving pace
these last four or five weeks.
Actually, the Savoys are on a hot
siX-game winning streak if the two
Portland contests during he Memo
rial Day holidays are counted. But
in the PSI, the Savoys count to four
and pause.
There's no mystery about the Sa-
voys' sudden rise. They've always
had a passionate desire to win. It's
just that the men are hitting and
fielding better. Oh how we grieved
with them in those earlier error
splattered games.
"Tiger" Asaba, the little mite of a
hurler, is shaping UP exceedingly
well this season. He may be the key
to the Savoys' diamond destiny. OF
course, Richard Tsuji is Richard
Tsuii still. the number one hurler
and as reliable as they come.
With few breaks thrown in from
this Sunday on, the Savoys may yet
land on top of the heap in their di-

they're tied for third as of Sunday.

BANK MOVE REVEALED IN. COUNCIL MEETING

Although it has not been con- firmed by MatanuSka Valley Bank officials, plans to move the location of the bank to quarters in the new Neal Wright build ing addition were revealed in the City Council meeting Mon- day night
 The revelation came in connec- tion with a familiar airing of violations of the city licensing or dinance. It was opined by Council members that an Anchorage con- tractor hired by the bank to con- Struct vault in the new loca- ton was working here without first having obtained contract or'S license. The Council will take action to notify the contractor Of the need for such license to comply with the city ordinance. The license fee for a contractor is $1OO.
 No completion date for the Neal Wright building addition has been set.

Council Provides for Strict Enforcement Of Building Code

A solution to the explosive issue of enforcing the city's build. ing code was sought by City Councilmen at a meeting held Monday night in the Coop Club room,
 It was agreed that the ordin- ance should apply impartially to all builders in the community ana that strict enforcement should be mandatory.
 Procedure of issuing building permits for new construction ol fenovatlons was the issue under lying the unhappy altercation be- tween two councilmen and the City Clerk that led to the resigna- ton of the latter two weeks ago.
 It was decided Monday that ap- pllcations should be made in the City Clerks office. These appli- cations would be submitted to the City Council for approval, ana upon approval the City Clerk would issue a building permit. This permit then should be prom inently displayed where the per tinent building is in progress.
 To aid in the enforcement of the building code, it was agreed that the list of building permits grant ed should be published monthly in The Frontiersman. In a further check on enforcement, Police Chief Bernie Bouwens was auth orized to make list periodically of the construction in progress and submit it to the Council. | Such list was requested for the next meeting, Wednesday, June 18.
 Since the adoption of the build ing code ordinance last Novem- Der, the following permits have been issued:
 To Alba s. Brooks for a fra:;;c office; estimated cost $1,0OO; per- init charge $20O.
 To Charles Elton for a green house; estimated cost $1,O0O; per init charge $2.OO.
 To Lloyd Severns for a frame and stucco addition; estimated cost $21 .000; permit charge $500.

With few bills still not re- ceived, Bill Head released this week a partial financial report on the three-day Settlers Cele- bration sponsored by the Matan- uska Valley Chamber of Con- merce.
 The statement dated June II showed total funds on hand of $37O.6O, $325.68 of which repre- sents a reducible profit from this years celebration. Payment of bills from Anchorage, the Coop, and Koslosky's is expected to reduce this profit.
 Contributions received from merchants totalled $95O, includ- ing $365.59 in rentals and per centages from the B and B Alas ka Shows.

hope our Knik winds are
 about through for the season and
 that we get some summer wea.
 ther. This spring the season seems
 to be delayed about three weeks
 I've been out checking soil sur
 veys and mapping soil depths and find frost at less than a foot in shaded areas. We have had some crop damage this spring by the winds also. In wind-swept fields the planting of windbreaks is the only answer l know. The way l see it, we have our choice: either work small fields or suffer crop damage in the spring and wind erosion in the winter.
 The grass seeder purchased by the Soil Conservation Service has been used by seven or eight farmers in the Palmer area and also by three out in Wasilla. It has been used to seed two hun dred acres so far. It seeds brome very satisfactorily. Next week it is to be used on the Kenai Peninsula to establish some grass seeding demonstrations there. According to Charles Wilson, that area is considerably less advanc-. ed than it is here.
 A sprinkler irrigation system has been in operation on the Falk farm this week. We have been applying about an inch and one half of water per acre. The is fairly dry. We have some plot cages set up both on irrigated and non-irrigated land. From these we hope to determine just what increase in yields we can expect from irrigation. I be- lieve it will be considerable. It sure seems nice to be able to manufacture rain when you want | t. You can sit under the sprink- .ers on hot day, enjoy your self and watch the grass grow green.
