No official grain
inspection for Del.
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Due
to a lack of requests for full
inspection services, there
are no plans to designate an
official agency in Delaware
for the inspection of grain
under the U.S. Grain
Standards Act, a U.S.
Department of Agriculture
official said.
Leland E. Bartelt, ad
ministrator of the depart
ment’s Federal Grain In
spection Service (FGIS),
said a survey of the state’s
grain industry indicates that
an official agency is not
presently needed in
Delaware in order for
persons to obtain most of the
factor analyses they require
for grain trade in the state.
A report on grain in
spection activity in
Delaware shows that less
than three per cent of the
inspections performed in the
state during the past fiscal
year were on a full-grade
basis.
Nearly 98 per cent of the
inspections requested during
the past year were only for
one or two factors, such as
moisture or foreign
material, rather than for an
official U.S. grade.
Bartelt said the situation

Safety check needed
NORRISTOWN - Winter is
the perfect time to curl up in
front of a cozy fire. But
before operating the
fireplace or wood burning
stove, one should take time
to make sure he doesn’t have
a fire hazard, cautions ex
perts.
One should: Make sure his
chimney and flue lining are
in good condition and free of
blockage; never use the
fireplace as an incinerator
or garbage disposal, and be
careful about throwing
papers and other objects into
the fire; always keep a
screen in front of the
fireplace and keep flam
mable objects and household
furnishings away from the
fire; never leave a fire
burning unattended,
