The apparatus described is the standard used by the United States Department of Agriculture, and the South African Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, for determining the moisture content of whole grain. It is similarly used in the United States by the State 

 Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations ; the Grain and Inspection Departments in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, 

 Boston, Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Peoria, Minneapolis, Duluth, Toledo, Detroit, 

 and many of the smaller markets, private grain firms, and operators of grain elevators in the terminal markets, and at country 

 shipping points, brewers, distillers, millers, etc. These testers are now being installed by the Quartermaster-General of the United 

 States Army at nineteen of the principal army posts, so that all oats and maize can be purchased on the basis of its true feeding 

 value, i.e., on a moisture test, .
