He states that he re- ceives many requests for informa- tion from farmers who do not under- stand that a price quoted is for stan- dard 'weight. 'Before grain is +purchased a sample is tested for weight and the price is set according to that weight test. If a test shows grain to be above the standard weight, one sent extra per 'bushel is paid. Similarly if the test reveals the grain to be under stand- ard weight, the price is one cent less per bushel. For instance, he points out, the standard weight of !barley is .48 lbs. per 'bushel, and the price quoted is 45t per bushel. If the grain tests to 49 lbs. per 'bushel, then the price is 46c; and if 150 lbs., the price is 471c. The standard weight for oats is 34 pounds. The standard weight for wheat has 'been lowered this year to .58 pounds per 'bushel, he states.
