The first thing to be considered in determining whether you are to clean to a no- dockage basis or whether you will leave one or two percent of dockage in the grain, depends entirely upon the character of the grain and the “| character of the dockage which c: bg removed. Close cleaning of grain usually results in a small shrinkage in the net weight, due to a loss of whole or large pieces of cracked ker- nels in the screenings, “It is in this particular connection that directors of farmers elevators should be well posted on the benefits and results of cleaning so that they can make arrangements with their managers to take advantage of every sible profit which may result from close and careful cleaning, although the manager may of necessity show a slight shrinkage in the net weight of wheat or flax at the end of the year, “The other question which natur- ally “arises in deciding what grain to clean is whether grain containing only'4 or 6 percent of dockage can be profitably cleaned. This question can only be answered with a full | knowledge of the type of cleaning machinery in the elevator and even jthen wonid differ with different lots ‘of wheat and: flax.
