APPENDIX III 493 



No. 4 Winter Barley. Shall include all barley not lit for a higher 

 grade in consequence of being poor quality, damp, musty or dirty; shall 

 contain not more than 10 per cent of foreign matter and weigh not less 

 than 40 pounds to the measured bushel. 



SAMPLE GRADES GENERAL RULE 



All wheat, barley, oats, rye and corn that is in a heated condition, 

 souring, or too damp to be safe for warehousing, or that is badly bin-burnt, 

 lire-burnt, lire-smoked, or badly damaged, mixed with garli/c, onions, or 

 containing live weevil, exceedingly dirty, or where different kinds of grain 

 are badly mixed with one another, shall be classed as Sample Grade, and 

 the inspector shall make notations as to quality and condition. 



Notice. The inspection departments shall in no case make a grade 

 of grain above that of the poorest quality found in any lot of grain in- 

 spected, when it has evidently been plugged for the purpose of deception, 

 or otherwise improperly loaded. Wheat which has been subjected to scour- 

 ing, or clipping, or any process equivalent thereto, shall not be graded 

 higher than a 3. 



New. The word " NEW " shall be inserted in each certificate of in- 

 spection of a newly harvested crop of oats until the fifteenth day of 

 August; of rye, until the first day of September; of wheat, until the first day 

 of November, and of barley, until the first day of November of each year. 



This change shall be construed as establishing new grades for the 

 times specified, to conform to the existing grades of grain in all par- 

 ticulars, except the distinctions hereby established between the new and 

 the old crop, and shall apply to grain inspected from store for two months 

 after the time respectively above specified.
