It seems to me if that change is to be made, it had better 

 be made by allowing the people the option of using either 

 "ungraded" or "unclassified" for the first year anyway. 



MR. STOCKWELL: I would like to ask what is the

 both ways. We started it with "unclassified," went to "un- 

 graded," and now gone back to "unclassified."

 for instance, went <lown in one grade, and the small wormy 

 apples, according to the size, and three grades of imperfect
