Oregon Agricul tural College. CORVAIXIS. Or, March . (Special.) Tha proposed official standards for wheat for the United States recently given to the press contain many glaring defects. Tha Oregon Agricultural Col- leg gralnraen believe their adoption would work serious Injury to the grain trada of tha state. Several provisions evidently mada to meet certain Eastern conditions will Impose a serious Injus tice on the Western farmer, miller and consumer should these proposed stand ards become official. It Is true there are several good fea tures that might with profit be added to our present grades. For example, the allowance of wheat containing 10 per cent of rye instead of only S per cent aa heretofore. Is a recognition of the value nf such a mLxtura. even though such a lot of wheat would be thrown into sample grade. Definite terms of dockage, treated wheat, mixed, smutty, garlicky and damaged vheat will assist In clarifying many misunderstandings and represent In several Instances definite Improve ments. The reason advanced for these pro posed changes are war conditions and the fact that we are selling wheat on a market In which a price is set. flow ever, the proposed grades will for the most part benefit only the wheat buyer and mixer and will work to the positive detriment of tha producer, miller and consumer. Bleadlag Is Profiteering. No amount of war conditions will Justify tha fixation of grades which offer such a splendid opportunity for blending poor wheat with better wheat snd securing the price of good wheat for It- Such blending is a form of profiteering and simply br1nc about a better price for the wheat without im proving It In any way. The inclusion of the Inferior ciuo wheats in the class "white wheat," wbl contains such varieties as Blue stc: "and Early Baart, Is one of the moat serious defects of the proposed revision. And the further proposal to allow ZS per cent of white club In sample of hard white Is fatal to the Northwest aa a producer of milling. wheat. For example, a sample of hard white early Baart may contain, accord ing to tha proposed standard. 25 per cent of the poorest variety of white club and still grade No. 1 bard white. While on the other hand, a sample or bard white, containing only 10.1 per cent of Marquis (a better milling vari ety than club), would be thrown Into sample grade. This large -allowance of club admixture will lead elevator men to mix In the cheap and Inferior club wheat to sell in at the higher price of hard white- Gluten tests made at the Oregon Ex periment Station have Indicated that soft white aa certain lots of bluestem. Early Baart. Rink and Defiance are better wheats than many clubs, yet this proposed standard would allow a sam ple of pure white club the same grade aa a soft lot of any one of tha better wheats mentioned above. Another serious defect Is the pro posal to allow wheat to contain not more than 20 per cent of treated wheat. even allowing limed wheat to mat amount without lowering the grade t alL The opportunities to buy cheap. smutty wheat, scour or lime scour it snd mix It In better wheat Is not likely to be overlooked any more than the possibility of blending club Into better wheat as mentioned previously. Moisture Content Italaed. Agricultural college experiments and Department of Agriculture experiments have shown much Northwest wheat to contain not over 7' to 9 per cent moisture at harvest. The proposed standards raise the moisture content permissible, from I It to IS per cent. This allows for tl addition of i to 7-, per cent of artificial moisture quite a tidy amount without improving- value for food in any way. The same opportunity for profiteer ing by blending Is offered by the pro posal to lower the tent weiKht per bushel from ii to 61 pounds per bushel for red Spring wheat and from (1 to 60 pounds per buxhel for red inter wheat. Much of our red Hprlng and Winter wheat has tested 62 to 64 pounds per bushel at the cereal labora tory of the Agricultural College and with the low figure set for No. 1 murh ight wheat could be passed off as No. 1 by blending it with such 62 to 64 potind wheat. While the grades now In use are probably too drastic on mixtures of va rieties, the proposed standards go to the opposite extreme and allow such latitude that blending ecaln becomes feasible and profitable. Reasonable re strictions on mixtures encourage better farming and tnora nearly right values on wheat. The Oregon Agricultural College be- llevea that the outcome of this hearing at Spokane will be of vital importance to tha Northwest and therefore grain producers and handlers who can be present should attend. The college will welcome definite written statements of suggestions pertinent to this matter. that It may make as strong a raee aa possible toward securing fair grades for producer, manufacturer and consumer. -"" ' " " 11 en-IBS. nm....!... . .s i.m im .SMi i in uslMw..i.,niitiMH... .... i.u- iii ,i i,..,.,.,.immi.,i. . m.t --- - I - ' ' .......
