shown on the scale tickets, shoiild be itemized in the space provided 

 therefor on the storage ticket. 



Record of Storage Tickets Issued. — AH Storage Tickets issued are 

 recorded consecutively on the Record of Storage Tickets Issued 

 (Form No. 2). On this form will be recorded the date, Storage 

 Ticket number, and the dockage and net bushels. Provision is made 

 for classifying the dockage by kind of grain and the net bushels by 

 kind, class, and grade. When storage tickets are purchased, the 

 number of the check issued therefor should be entered in the *' Check 

 number" column. 



During the season of heavy crop movement this form should be 

 footed daily and the totals carried to the Grain Report (Form No. 8), 

 opposite "Stored this period". 



On the storage, purchase, and shipping records (Forms Nos. 2, 3, 

 and 4) only four class segregations are provided under wheat, while 

 the official standards make six segregations. In sections of the 

 country where common white wheat and white club wheat are grown, 

 the class headings shown on the forms should be changed to conform 

 with the classes dealt in. 



As it is beheved no material advantage would be gained by account- 

 ing separately for the five possible classes of oats, no class segr^ations 

 are provided. 



Grain Check. — Elevators storing grain should use one series of 

 grain checks for the purchase ot.cash grain and another series for the 

 purchase of Storage Tickets (see Forms Nos. 10a and 10b, p. 44), 

 as the two classes of purchases are segregated in the section of the 

 journal devoted to grain purchases. (See Record of Grain Purchases, 

 p. 48.) By the use of two series, both the record of stored grain 

 purchases and the record of cash grain purchases will show an 

 unbroken series of checks, thus facilitating the determination of out- 

 standing checks and auditing the grain purchases. Payment should 

 be made each day for all purchased grain delivered that day. An 

 ordinary form of check often provided by tbe local bank should be 

 used for disbursements other than for grain. 



Record of Grain Purchases. — ^Elevators which store graia will 

 divide the section in the journal devoted to the Record of Grain 

 Purchases (Form No. 3) into two divisions. Cash Graia Purchases 

 and Stored Grain Purchases. 



All checks issued for grain purchased at time of delivery wiQ be 

 entered under Gash Grain Purchases, while checks issued for storage 

 tickets will be entered under Stored Grain Purchases. In some eleva- 

 tors where nearly aU grain received is stored for a time, it has been 

 the practice to make out storage tickets for all grain received, ev^i 

 though it be purchased on dehvery. This practice is commendable
