He took the bes six bushels that his supply affordei and ' these he carefully handlet through the grader. By this proc?s he got rid of all but. one and one-hal bushels, hut even then a few of th black oats wore left, since the blacl ones are elightly smaller than th perfect oat and could get through th grader. He then carefully picked th cutir? bushel and a half, sorting am resorting until, there was not a slngl oat with even ono peck left. He es tlmated that When he finished th process the One and a half bushel were worth at least $9, and this h planted on one and one-half acres c land.

As a resul of this ho secured 68 bpehcls of oat aft fine as may be found.
