Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I notice by the Press that a new rul- ing ‘for the grading of grain is to be adopted by the federal government and if I do not misunderstand it, that rul- ing will place the farmers in the North- west in worse shape than ever. It is ‘a well known fact that up here in the Northwest a field seeded to rye will produce more or less voluntary rye the next season and if seeded to wheat there will be a mixture of rye in'it. Under the new ruling wheat mixed with rye shall have an inferior grade, no matter how good the quality of the wheat and besides the farmers will lose all the rye on dockage. There is no way to separate rye from wheat but the rye will be ground up to flour by the millers. 3 The flour will be just as good and will be sold for the same price hence the more rye there is in the wheat the better for the millers and the worse for the farmers. The same thing applies to durum wheat. Supposing you sow blue stem one season and durum the next season on the same field. You are sure to have more or less mixture of blue stem in your durum wheat, and | you will be docked for your blue stem and the durum will be of an inferior grade. Now, rye is an important crop in the Northwest, because it eradicates wild oats and can be seeded on the stubble in the fall and produce a good crop, but there will always be more or less voluntary rye the next season. What the farmers are up against is this: Either to give a good store of their crop to the milling trust for nothing or quit raising rye or durum wheat. There is, however, one other thing the farmers can do,”and that is, to grind their own grain and I think this new ruling for grain grading will hasten that day. The milling trust and Big Business undoubtedly have their finger in the pie of this mew scheme just as if they have not stolen enough already from the producers. The mill- ing trust and Big Business is after all, nothing but a set of plunderers and they are getting bolder right along, but just give them rope enough and they will hang themselves in time. This new scheme of grain grading has undoubtedly driven another nail in their coffin. If the Leader will publish my writings I shall from time to time pay my tribute not only to the “bosses of commerce”’—so nick-named—but to their henchmen in the smaller towns, but enough for this time. JOHN WALLIN. ADVERTISEMENTS F The First, the Best Known and the Greatest CREAM SEPARATOR BETTER NOW THAN EVER BEFORE HE first practical continuous eream separator, the De ‘Laval has easily maintained its original suceess and leadership for nearly forty years. Step by step, year after-year, by one improvement after another, the De Laval has led in every single step of eream separator development and improvement. The first belt driven, the first steam turbine driven, the first of every kind of hand turnable, the first disec bowl, the first blade bowl, the first bottom or suction feed, the first split-wing feed, the first feed-through-the-dises, the first self-centering bowl, the first automatically oiled—all these and a hundred other features of separator development and improvement have been conceived by De Laval inventors and perfected by the De Laval Company, most of them to be cast aside for something still better in the ever onward advance of De Laval construction. The New 1917 De Laval And_now, in the De Laval machines for 1917, a number of new and still further improvements have been made, which make the De Laval machines of today much better in many respects than they have ever been before. = Their capacities are greater per dollar of cost; they skim cleaner under the more difficult conditions of separator use; they are equip- ped with the most improved speed regulator, thus insuring the proper speed necessary for complete separation; they are even better lubri- cated, and the bowl construction is even more sanitary than ever. In other words, superior as the De Laval machines have always been to all would-be competitors and utilizers of abandoned De Laval features, the De Laval machines of 1917 are improved and su- perior in every way to all previous types and models of De Laval construction. All these improvements and new features are described and ex- plained in the new 1917 De Laval catalog now ready for mailing, but some of them are difficult to describe and make fully understood by words. Be Sure to See a New De Laval The new De Laval machines themselves best explain their new and superior features, and their use does this more completely and convincingly than even an examination of them. Every local agent is glad to afford opportunity for examination, and better still, for home test of a new De Laval machine. But the demand for the new machines is a month ahead of the possible supply under the present qifficult conditions of manufacture and freight distribution. More De Laval machines by half have been made in 1917 than ever before, but the De Laval Works is now ten thousand machines behind actual orders, and the demand is ever in- creasing. Hence, the importance of securing a machine quickly if your local dealer happens to have one, and of ordering well ahead if he does not. And likewise, the importance of waiting patiently a little for a machine if need be. A new De Laval catalog will be gladly sent on request, and if you don't know your nearest local agent please address the nearest De Laval main office as below.

Here we are again with much the same proposition as in former years—but worse this year because the heat and rust affected all 1916 crops except the wild oats which was earlier than your grain crop and of course ripened earlier. ;I;herei;?dr*e t}tle wheat, barley and oats are lighter and smaller in proportion than he wild oats. Now there is the rub. How do you expect to separate wild oats from the light barley, oats or wheat with wind or sieve when the grain is about the same size and weight? HERE’S THE SECRET—The only separator that catches the wild oats by the whiskers is the HOILAND WILD OAT separator. Many farmers do not believe in this separator until they have seen it work as it has been thought im- possible to make the separation of wild oats from grain., . After you have graded your grain with any fanning mill or grader put it through a Hoiland Wild Oat Separator and take the very last wild oat out. Big prices are staring you in the face for the next crop so it will not do to sow wild oats. Sold on_an absolute guarantee to'do the work or money refunded.
