Say Grain Changes
Help Poor Quality
Proposed ehangea in the grain standard of
th Northwest to be considered at an official
grain hearing in Spokane Monday would be dis
astrous to tha farmer, think certain grain men of
Oregon Agricultural college. Miller and con
sumer also would suffer if th proposed change
ar made, and only tha buyer who operate blend
ing and mixing plants would benefit.
The proposed grade would allow buyer to mix
poor wheat with superior wheat and bring up the
grade of th blend without in sny way adding
to its food value. The profit en this manipu
lation will accrue altogether to th dealer who
performs it. , On of tha worst instances of this
ia pointed out by Professor Byslop aa follows:
Section 2 at the proposed change drops tha
class white club and includes thia inferior grain
in class 5, white wheat. A sample of this
No. 1 white wheat my con tan aa much aa 25
per eent of poorest whits club without losing
its class 1 grade, while a sample of No. 1 white
wheat containing no more than 10.1 per cent
Marquis or Turkey red will be thrown into asm
pis grade. A pure sample of little club would
grade th same aa a sample ef pure bluastem, if
th latter contains only - o per cent sort Kernels.
