FACTS CONCERNING GRADES OF
PENNSYLVANIA WHEAT BY
GEO. A. STUART, IN CHARGE
GRAIN STANDARDIZATION.
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture, Bureau of Markets.
If it were possible to write a per-
sonal letter to every grain grower in
Pennsylvania and show him in dollars
and cents the immense losses due to a
lack of understanding of factors influ-
encing the grades and consequently
the price of wheat, this subject at once
would become the most discussed top-
ic of conversation of Pennsylvania ag-
riculture. The result would be in-
creased profit to the wheat grower and
the saving of wheat growing in Penn-
sylvania from a slow death.
In the western States where a large
amount of wheat is shipped the farm-
er has become acquainted thoroughly
with the Federal standards. The far-
mer knows if he has premium wheat
he gets paid for premium wheat, and
if he is careless and raises and sells
impure wheat itis discounted. He
therefore, selects and treats his seed
before planting. He rotates his crops
and cares for his land in order to have
2 minimum of weed seeds and foreign
material when the grain is threshed.
His thresher is asked to clean the
wheat thoroughly when threshing.
What about the wheat grower In
Pennsylvania? The fact that a very
large percentage of cars of Pennsyl-
vania wheat arriving at the terminal
markets grades No. 4 or No. 5 or
Sample Grade shows a lack of knowl-
edge of the value of grading, especi-
ally since a great deal of the grain
is of the quality of Grade No. 1 and
No. 2 if care had been exercised in
preparing it for a shipment. Very
often the country buyer, in order to
hold his customers, pays the same
price for wheat irrespective of qual-
ity. In order to protect himself from
loss, he, therefore, pays less than
market price for the better quality
wheat.
There is no incentive to the grower
to be careful, no incentive to produce
a better quality and cleaner wheat,
but more of a disposition to be lax,
and each year shows an increasing
spread of noxious weeds and of insep-
arable foreign material in grain ship-
ment. Many a farmer when asked
why he does not take care of his wheat
in eliminating the rye, the cockle, the
garlic and other foreign material will
answer: “What's the use? I get just
the same price for it.” If Pennsyiva-
nia is to hold its place as a wheat
growing State, something must be
done. The first step is for every far-
mer to become acquainted with the
factors which influence the quality
and price of wheat; and secondly, to
eliminate the factors which lower the
price. .
The principal factors which influ-
ence the quality of grade of wheat are
weight per bushel, the amount of
water it contains at time of market-
ing, the amount of damaged kernels,
the amount of foreign material, the
presence of Angoumois Moth or live
grain weevil. 68-31-2t

Mrs. Potter, of Fleming, is visil-
ing with her sister, Mrs. N. E. Wol-
ford.
Mr. H. F. Albee, of Pittsburgh, is
spending a few days here with his
family.
Mrs. William Kerstetter, who had
been seriously ill, is very much im-
proved at this writing.
Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe and two chil-
dren, of Akron, Ohio, are visiting at
the Orlin Brooks home.
Samuer Reish’s horse was killed on
Monday evening on the state road. It
was hit by an automobile.
Miss Evelyn Irvin, of Akron, Ohio,
is spending her vacation at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. William Florey.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Gilger, of Har-
risburg, are visiting with Mrs. Gil-
ger’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. P.
Heisy.
Miss Hazel Corl returned home on
Tuesday, after a very enjoyable visit
at the home of her uncle, David Hoov-
er, in Altoona.
Mrs. H. J. Griffith and daughter
Betty returned to Pittsburgh, Tues-
day, after spending a few days at
their home here.
Our Sunday school picnic, which
was postponed two weeks ago on ac-
count of the rain, will be held on Sat-
urday, at Hecla park.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Armstrong left
on Tuesday for their home in Wash-
burn, Mo., after an extended visit here
among friends and relatives.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Griffith and
daughter Mamie motored. to Altoona,
- Saturday, and spent the week-end
with Harry Evey and family.
Miss Mildred Zettle gave a lawn
party to a number of her young
friends on Tuesday evening. All re-
port as having had a wonderful time.
Miss Dorothy Mulfinger left on
Friday for Williamsport, where she
expects to enter a business college.
Frank Millwards have as their
guests this week Mr. and Mrs. James
Patterson and son, of Chester; also
John Wilson and family, of Osceola
Mills.
Two rather suspicious individuals
called at one of our stores the past
week. They were evidently out on a
private business venture,
wanted to buy some tar and feathers.
The concensus of opinion is that they
are members of the Klu Klux Klan
and had in view the reformation of
our quiet village. Their famous mys-
terious cross may next be in evidence.
The following efficient crew of
workmen, William Kerstetter, Otis
Hile, M. P. Musser, Jared Evey, H. C.
Decker, Herb Hockenberry, Simon Du-
gan, Harry Hile, John Weaver and Al-
fred Hoover have been busily engaged
in beautifying the vast scope in front
of the Noll Bros. store for the past
few days. Politics was the principal
topic of discussion during the brief
period of construction. The improve-
ments are of concrete and vitrified
as they,
brick. Since completion the general
appearance compares favorably to the
lawns adjacent to our capitol at Har-
risburg. If anything, it is more at-
tractive than the capitol project. Since
completion you can stand out on the
improvement and have a full view to
the beautiful gap penetrating the clas-
sic Nittany mountain. It is a superb
change and is worth all it cost.
Thanks to the Noll Bros. for their
characteristic enterprise.
Mr. M. Keller, retired farmer, and
at present an employee of the Titan
Metal Co., concluded about ten days
ago that since it has become quite
fashionable for all steady workers to
enjoy an invigorating vacation, he de-
cided that a suitable place to visit
would be our State capital. He went
there and reports a most enjoyable
time. He took in the capitol and sur-
roundings, as well as the numerous
public institutions, all of which he
thinks are very creditable and judi-
ciously managed, but with none was
he more pleased than with the River
Drive hospital which is adapted for
maternal, medical, surgical and con-
valescent cases. The institution faces
the Susquehanna river along the state
highway, has a very attractive loca-
tion with an abundance of home at-
mosphere. Mr. Keller was delighted
with his experience at this model in-
stitution. He says the hospital is well
equipped, modern in all details, and
the management is unexcelled, sani-
tary and home-like in the extreme; the
courteous treatment during his brief
stay will never be forgotten.
PINE GROVE MENTION.
W. A. Brown, wife and son Robert,
of Huntingdon, were Wednesday vis-
itors at the John H. Williams home.
Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Bercy, of
Cleveland, Ohio, are visiting their sis-
ter, Mrs. J. G. Miller, the three wom-
en spending part of their time at the
Miller bungalow at Old Monroe.
Grandmother Ellen Hastings, an
octogenarian; Mrs. Dearmit, Mrs.
Gross and J. G. Strayer, all of Gates-
burg, were members of a party who
gathered at the Charles Gates home
at Pennsylvania Furnace yesterday,
and partook of a sumptuous dinner
served by Mrs. Gates.
Early Wednesday morning a big
commotion in the chicken house at the
J. G. Miller home attracted the at-
tention of the men folks and Sam
Hess, a nearby neighbor and a crack
shot, was called upon to investigate.
With his trusty Marlin in hand he pro-
ceeded to investigate and discovered
a big red fox breakfasting on Mr.
Miller’s half-grown pullets. One shot
laid him low, but he had already kill-
ed six chickens and had another one
in his jaws.
On August 9th, 1898, J. Will Kepler
and Miss Madge Goss were united in
the bonds of holy matrimony and yes-
terday they celebrated their silver
wedding anniversary at their cosy
home on Main street. Only a portion
of their children were able to be with
them on this momentous occasion but
the absent ones sent loving greetings.
Mr. and Mrs. Kepler received quite a
collectin of silver tokens from their
numerous friends. Their children are
