THE TEST WEIGHT OF GRAIN. 



in the test kettle caused by the increased momentum which the grain 

 receives from a greater distance of fall. 



The experiments demonstrated that 2 inches is the shortest dis- 

 tance from the top of the test kettle to the hopper opening which is

 test kettle by different-sized grain streams, the height of fall remaining the same. 



practicable for all grains, and. as this corresponds with the best trade 

 practices and with the recommendations of the Chief Grain Inspect- 

 ors' National Association, this has been fixed as the proper height 

 above the kettle from which grain should fall in making the test.
