The complete description of the grades included in one 

 class of wheat will be sufficient to indicate the differences in 

 the grades. The descriptions of the different classes natur- 

 ally vary from the ones here given according to the particular 

 class. The variation is largely in the designation of the kind 

 of wheat of which the grade is composed, and the weight 

 per bushel requisite for the grade. Thus, No. 1 Hard 

 Winter wheat must weigh 61 pounds to the bushel, while 

 No. 1 Spring wheat need only weigh 59 pounds. 



No. 1 Hard Winter wheat shall include all varieties of pure, hard 

 winter wheat, sound, plump, dry, sweet, and well cleaned, and weigh 

 not less than 61 pounds to the measured bushel. 



No. 2 Hard Winter wheat shall include all varieties of hard winter 

 wheat of both light and dark colors, dry, sound, sweet, and clean, and 

 weigh not less than 59 pounds to the measured bushel. 



No. 3 Hard Winter wheat shall include all varieties of hard winter 

 wheat of both light and dark colors, not clean or plump enough for No. 2 

 and weigh not less than 56 pounds to the measured bushel. 



No. 4 Hard Winter wheat shall include all varieties of hard winter 

 wheat of both light and dark colors. It may be damp, musty or dirty, 

 and weigh not less than 50 pounds to the measured bushel. 



iThis class also includes a grade known as "No. 1 Hard Spring wheat," which 

 ranks above No. 1 Northern.
