Grain Marketing Report Asks More
Uniform Dealer Discount Practices

more accurate measurement Of
farmers loads. the committee re-
port, presented to Commissioner
OF Agriculture Parke c. Brinkley,
suggested that dealers buy the

instead Of the troublesome bushel
In the meantime. the report

basis OF Sc pounds OF shelled

OF how many pounds OF fresh

Slaughter Grass Fat
Cattle Now Advised
By VPI Experts

Cattle should be gaining weight
not losing. at the time of slaugh-
ter. That's the tip from animal
husbandman at VPI. who advise
farmers who expect to get their
own beef supply from grass-fat
cattle to slaughter them now.
Once beef animals lose the fat
they have gained off grass, it
takes several months Of expensive
grain feeding to put it back
Cattle of beef breeding can be
expected to produce better quality
meat than those of mixed or dairy
breeding. Calves of dairy breeding
make good veal. and calves Of
mixed dairy and beef breeding
make good slaugter calves as long
as they retain their milk fat Old
er cattle for home slaughter
should be Of definite beef breed
ing.
Young cattle. as a rule, produce
more tender meat than older cat
tie, although the meat from those
with more age is likely to have
better flavor. Heifers are satisfac-
tory for the home meat supply.
They fatten when young more
readily than steers and usually
have less market value.
The specialists point out that in
the past farmers had to wait for

standards and for the resulting
loss IN weight Of the grain from
evap0rated moisture
In dealer discounting for wild
onion seeds in wheat, the COM
mittee suggested a uniform scale
OF one cent for each seed found
III grading sample. instead Of
the present flat discounts between
three wide government grades.
They though the new system
would minimuniZe dealer losses if
their wheat were graded in
trade channels, and give farmers
more money for wheat with low
onion seed content.
The committee said il could not
recommend any one system for
discounts on account of damage to
gram. since damage varies from
year to year. from grain TO grain
and often from area to area.
Farmer Information
1t might help. the committee
said. if farmers knew more about
discounting and other grain trad
ing practices, and it suggested an
educational program by the Viz
ginia Extension Service.
Farmers also need more COM
plete and more accurate grain
price reporting, the committee
said. It suggested that the State
Department of Agriculture market
news report contain more detailed
information en- market conditions,
price breakdowns. and discounts
being taken by dealers.
