U. S., Canada Seek
To Eliminate BusheI.
As Grain Measure

The bushel may be on its way
out as a unit for measuring
grain.
Both American and Canadian
governments and trade groups
are pushing moves to measure
grains by the hundredweisht in
stead. The United States Agri-
culture Department has made a
study of the matter and will
make q report on its recommen-
dations at a convention Of the
American Feed Manufacturers
Association in Chicago May /.
The Canadian Board Of Grain
Commissioners is looking into
the proposal in that country.
The American Feed Manu-
facturers Association contends
that the bushel as a unit is out
NODDED and is a cause Of much
CUIlIuSlOu.
The confusion arises in part
out Of the fact that II Is not
a uniform unit in all countries
using it and also because there
is great variation in the weight
Of a bushel of various grains.
The standard buShel in the
United States contains 2.150.42
cubic inches. The Canadian
bushel contains 2219.6 inches.
In this country a busheI of wheat
weighs so pounds. rye, fiaxseed
and shelled corn Sc pounds, ear
corn 10 pounds. barley 48 pounds
and oats 80.
