Then came Nature's threat to the crop-the spring drouth that appeared destined to wreck the harxest by limiting the crop to a 13 bushel per acre yield or jess. nnw . however, saved the situation nd the growers were once more transformed to the opUmUtlc side. . . thM .- considerable Joy In finding SIS muni ....... v.. ........ . that while yield U down from normal, quality appears to be among the fcest oi proauewn But an Ironic situation has developed that threatens another setback to the wheat rancher.

The new grading standards were adopted in a effort to continue improvement in the quality of wheat, but the one on contrasting grades has caught ranchers by surprise because they did not realize, until harvest actually arrived, Just what the implications would be. Just how much of this year"s total crop in Morrow county will be downgraded is yet difficult to determine. Al Lamb estimates that it might be in the neighborhood of 20. Those raising Gaines wheat do not seem to be having trouble, but those raising several other varieties are consistently drawing the downgrade penalties. Just where the trouble comes is not definitely pinpointed. In some instances, ranchers who have changed varieties on their fields may be getting a contrasting variety when it comes up as volunteer wheat Some of the trouble may be at the elevators where some kernels of a contrasting variety may be mixed in during the elevating process although steps are taken in an attempt to prevent this. There is also some feeling that newly-developed varieties have a tendency in some instance to revert, but this is something about which County Agent Nels Anderson is skeptical. Appeals have been made to suspend the new regulations for a year on the basis that the crop was in the ground when the new grades were set up. Ranchers do not shy away from Improving quality, but they do need a year to correct the trouble and "ge( their house in order," This one-yeaf suspension would seem to be a fair and logical step, if it can be done. It is pitiful and ridiculous to grade as No. 3 or No. 4 some of the most beautiful wheat that was ever produced and the ranchers and county shouldn't be penalized with the economic loss.
