C., March 8.—Tentative revised stan- dards for wheat under the grain standards act ‘were announced today by the see- retary of agriculture. The standards are less exacting especially with reference to moistures, mixtures of wheat of different classes, inseparable foreign mate- rial, and rye mixtures than are the present standards. Before final action is taken upon the standards, five public hearings will be held to afford the grain trade opportunity to discuss the proposed standards. One of the hearings will be in Min- neapolis on March 21. Change in the former standards is largely due to war conditions, which have brought about fixed prices for wheat and substantial elimination of competition in its marketing. Milling and baking indus; tries have been put upon’a new basis. Under present abnormal conditions, mix- tures of different classes ‘of wheat, admixtures of rye, and other factors, do not play so important a part in the marketing of wheat as | under pre-war conditions. Interest in Report Much interest centered in the De- partment of Agriculture's grain re- port today announcing the amount of as ol-) years, in view of the pressing demand the Food Administration has exerted to send that cereal to the Allies. Corn of the 1916 crop on farms March 1, iast year, amounted to 30.5 per cent of the crop. 0 Means Much to State. ingle enemy soldier got into position | announcement made in Perograd on! to carry it out, the American automat-' Thursday and forwarded by the cor- and riflles' respondent of the vraph Co.
