The miller knows he can go from such grain more and bettei flour, with less labor and expense or his part. This is illustrated by re sults of several hundred tests made by the Bureau of Markets, Unite< St. tes Department of Agriculture, ir which No. 1 spring wheat (according to Federal standards) weighing 5E pounds per bushel, yielded 71.3 pei cent of straight flour and 28.7 pe cent of bran and middlings. On th< other hand, spring whieat grading No. 5, weigling 50 pounds per bush el, yielded 63.8 per cent straight flour and 36.2 per cent bran and mid dlings. Penalizing Grower of Good Flour.

Y. le e the Federal standards can be applied o uniformly in all parts of the country. it Acquainted Farmers With Grades. e While the government has no auth ority under the United States grain e standards act to supervise grain grad ing under Federal grades, except in ' the work of licensed inspectors and in ,h interstate shipments, the government does wnat to acquaint farmers and dealers generally with the application of the Federal standards so that they 1 may benefit more generally thereby. 3 This is one reason why Federal grain 1 supervision officials givo demonstra tions of Federal grades at tSate fairs. local grain-grading schools, and other !places, and colleges give grain-grad ing courses. By these means the - farmer learns how to apply the 3 grades to his own wheat. He may not 1 enre to supply himself with a set of 1 the equipment to grade his own grain but by learning the essential features of the standards and the grading rules lhe will be able to know whether the 1 country buyer is correctly grading his 3 grain when he markets it. 3 Appealing to Inspector. 1 In addition, if a country dealer.buys 1 by grade and his farmer customer thinks he doesn't grade right, they can mail a sample, upon which they both agree as being representative of the lot of grain, to a licensed grain in spector for grading. The sample re quired should be at least 2 quarts in size. About 1%A pints of it is put in 1 a clean, air-tight can which is placed with the rest of the sample in a clean cloth sack.
