Kansas City, Mo. iW Like
the old gray mare, the Missouri
mule, the old bucket and walk
ing plow, another long-standing
farm tradition may be on the
way out.
This is the bushel, a standard
of measure used by farmers for
centuries and possibly dating
back to Biblical times.
Modern technology is forcing
the bushel to give way to meas
uring by weight. The reason
no one quite agrees just what is
a bushel.
You might say that a bushel is
the amount of something that
can be put in a bushel basket,
such as apples at the supermar

And again, contents of the
bushel usually vary in weight.
No two bushels of apples weigh
the same, and no two bushels of
wheat do either. This variation
has brought on the common
practice of selling by the bushel-
pound method, and causes con
siderable mathematics.
For these reasons, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, state
agencies, and leaders at the grass
roots level are attempting to do
away with the "bushel" as a
term of measurement and use
"weight'' instead.
The Kansas State Board of Ag
riculture recently announced
that the change-over probably
will mean that sometime in the
near future, the state's wheat
crop likely will be measured in
hundred-weights instead of bushels.
Farmers presently take their
wheat to market, weigh it, and
divide the weight by 60, the
number of pounds set for a
standard bushel of wheat to
wt'gh. The wheat then issold
by the bushel.
But leaders now say, why not
sell the wheat, and other prod
ucts, by weight, rather than
through the process of dividing
the total weight, then muttiply
ing this by the price per bushel.
Roy Freeland, secretary of the
Kansas board, admitted there
would be difficulties to the
changeover but said they would
be only temporary.
The hardest thing, tree
land visualized it, would be
getting farmers to speak of
yields in terms of "hundred
weight per acre" instead of the
common "bushel per Sere." ,nd
of sentimental value only fcould
be the passage of a longstanding
tradition, one that served ell
through centuries befor cles
came along to make measure
ment by weight more pntcticl.
