Grain Lab Shows Grading Results of Select Samples . A visit to the State Grain Grading Laboratory at Pendle ton last Wednesday was an in teresting experience. Main rea son for the visit was to have some samples graded so that I might determine exactly what these graders were calling con trasting classes." Wheat of contrasting classes has been the big problem in making grade under the new standards. It was my .contention that some high protein off -type kernels were being called con trasting classes. , It was good to review tech niques of grain .grading since it had been several years since I had had occasion to use Uiis experience. I found that the grain graders were also quite concerned with the new stand ards and a bit perplexed as to whv the tightening on contrast ing classes since the original tolerance was low enough, to prevent any great contamina- ti0Samples that I took over and those in the lab which were run during my visit showed definite hard red winter and hard red spring contamination. T h I s means that those with wheat that has been graded down be cause of contrasting classes will need to be more particular in selecting their seed wheat and in keeping fields cleaned of other varieties. This is easier said than done but we know it is possible from the number of samples that are grading No. 1 for some growers. I refer mainly to Burt and Forty fold which are the main prob lem varieties in our county. While most of the grain graded down is from areas where Turkey varieties have been grown in the past, we still find other areas growing wheat with hard red spring or hard red winter contamination. There is some thought that this one standard might be revised before nIn the' meantime, those who need clean seed that would grade No. 1. should be looking for it rather than to use seed that is not pure hoping that the standards will be changed be- KAnneVh Peck!

Higher Storage Rate May Up Wheat Price Announcement that the Fed eral government will calculate a higher storage rate in setting selling prices of present grain inventory owned by the CCC means that this government owned surplus will be held for a higher selling price than has been expected, Al Lamb, man a ffflf rr Nfnrrow Countv Grain Growers, said this week. "This should mean some in crease in Wheat prices," Lamb said. Secretary Orville Freeman has annnunmi an increase in the carrying cost from 1 cent to lli fonts rur month. As a result the CCC will calculate a higher storage rate in their resale form ula, "Loan plus reasonanie car nHniT champs." and therefore the open market will be able to advance to a higner level Deiore CCC saless can take over, Lamb said- Morrow County CHOF-WCATHER SUMMABT Tor week ending July 31 Compiled br tha Oregon Crop and Livestock Reporting Service.
