GRAIN GRADING " Demonstrations showing how: grain is graded at terminal markets, from, the first to the last step, are being shown by federal grain supervisors to farmers, millers, elevator men and others in a series of meetings now be- ing held in several states. The offi- cials in charge demonstrate the equip- ment used by inspection officers at terminal markets and the methods employed in grading grain according to the federal standards. They dem- onstrate how to apply the grades with a limited and inexpensive set of equip- ment at the county mill and elevator. Samples of various grades of wheat, corn and oats are carried with the demonstrations, besides type trays and charts showing the various grading factors under the standards, and the effect of mixtures of foreign material on the milling and baking quality of flour. Samples of wheat, corn and oats are taken from cars with the probe. These samples are mixed, and aethods of taking an average sample by mechanical means is demonstrated. Special equipment, which tests for moisture, dockage and- weight - per bushel, is also used. The main object is to demonstrate methods by which the United States department of agri- culture, in carrying out the provisions of the grain standards act, determines grain grades at principal markets. Prices paid for wheat and shelled corn are based upon the grades of federal standards. Demonstrations are being held in a number of cities in Iowa, N e-“ braska, Oklahoma and Texas. you can put on your farm.

These will deal with the political and economic conditions in Great Britian. Great Britian today, in spite of the fact that it has a king instead of a president, is farther advanced in progress toward industrial democracy than the United States. How did it hap- pen? The articles to be published in the Leader, written by an officer of the American Expeditionary Forces, give the answer. The farmers and workingmen of the cities started with co-operation and made great progress. Then they saw that more was necessary and they organized for political action, as the farmers and workingmen of the United States are doing today. And today they are headed toward a more complete industrial democracy than the world has yet known. Pastures for Montana Cattle More Readers of Leader Offer Place for Stock of Drouth- Stricken Farmers EVERAL more readers of the Leader have come forward with offers of pasture for cattle of drouth-stricken Montana farmers. Hundreds of acres are offered these farmers of Montana by League members.” Here are some of the letters. Montana farmers who are still seeking pastur- age should write direct to the men whose names are given with the let- ters if they are interested. The let- ters: Hinckley, Minn. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I saw by the Nonpartisan Leader that Montana farmers want pasturage for their stock. I have enough extra pasture for a carload of stock for about two months. BERT COLE. Warroad, Minn. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: | Noting the article in the Leader regarding drouth-stricken farmers of Montana, will say I have 145 acres of fine pasturage any farmer can have free of charge. Sheep preferred. J. B. WHALEY. Hayward, Wis. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have 210 acres, all sheep-tight fenced, a mile of lake shore, a sheep barn 80x24, first class pasturage, will have plenty of dry feed for two weeks for 500 sheep. I have 171 sheep that I am going to put on the market soon. I could handle 550 head of sheep. Have also a good corral if needed: There also is a good clover pasture. C. J. WHEMPNER, R. R. 1. ) Carlbon, Minn. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have two lots, one of about 30 acres and another of between 40 and 50 acres. The first one is not fenced, but the second is fenced with two strands of barbed wire. I will gladly let this out for pasture if it will help someone. I can not fence in the un- fenced land, however. I would be un- able to winter any of the stock, as I have no sheds and very little hay. There is some oats and rye straw, however. All the land is brush land ‘and close to my.house. VICTOR ERICKSON. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: ~ I wish‘to bring attention of parties interested in conditions. I have on my ranch here hay and feed for a small lot of cattle, preferably beef cattle, for the winter. This district has the best winter weather for stock in any part of the country, as the rain- fall is only five or six inches a year and on account of the low elevation the winters are mild. The hay is all alfalfa and we get four good crops of it. . I could carry 200 head of stock " PAGE TWELVE Richland, Wash. over winter by buying some hay from adjacent farms to feed with mine. We are near the Northern Pacific railroad and two other roads, and on state highway. As there is consider- able hay raised here for outside ship- ment, I could make arrangements and place other stock if the owmers in Montana are ready to do business. J. R. GARDNER. < Sauk Center, Minn., R. R. 5. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have a good place for cattle, lots of grass and hay and a good crop of grain. I have room and feed for 20 or 25 head of cattle. I will keep them for the increase of stock, but would like to have milch cows. I also have plenty of help to take care of them. BEN REIHER. McDae, Mont. - Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have 70 head of cattle for which I would like to find a place in North or South Dakota. I want a place with pasture and hay enough for them to live through the winter. HENRY KRAY. MACARONI STANDARDS' Pre-war standards for macaroni, spaghetti, vermicelli and similar prod- ucts are now in effect, say the officials of the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture, in charge of the enforcement of the food and drugs act. During the period of the war substi- tutes for semolina of hard wheat were permitted for the manufacture: of these products because of the urgent necessity for conserving wheat. Since this necessity no longer justifies sub- stitution, all macaroni, spaghetti and similar products shipped within the jurisdiction ‘of the federal food and drugs act must comply with the stand- ards as published in United States de- partment of agriculture Circular 136. The standards define macaroni and kindred products as made from the semolina of hard wheat and containing not more than 18% per cent of mois- ture. Products made from flour or from a mixture of flour and semolina may not be labeled as “Macaroni” or “Spaghetti,” according to the stand- ards, but should be labeled as “Flour Macaroni” or “Flour Spaghetti,” ete., as the case may be. Real macaroni made from the semo-' lina of hard wheat when cooked has different qualities than those of flour macaroni. It is much preferred be- cause of these qualities by those who know what real macaroni is, although flour macaroni and kindred products have merits and are excellent foods. Flour macaroni being inferior to real macaroni should be cheaper in price. The enforcement of the standard en- ables the housewife to know in edch in- stance whether she is obtaining a product made from semolina or one fnade wholly or in part from flour. R s
