shown on the scale tickets, should be itemized in the space provided 
therefor on the storage ticket. 
Record of Storage Tickets Issued. — All 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 believed no material advantage would be gained by account- 
ing separately for the five possible classes of oats, no class segregations 
are provided. 
Grain Check. — Elevators storing grain should use one series' of 
grain checks for the purchase of 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 the local bank should be 
used for disbursements other than for grain. 
Record of Grain Purchases. — Elevators which store grain will 
divide the section in the journal devoted to the Record of Grain 
Purchases (Form No. 3) into two divisions, Cash Grain Purchases 
and Stored Grain Purchases. 
All checks issued for grain purchased at time of delivery will be 
entered under Cash Grain Purchases, while checks issued for storage 
tickets will be entered under Stored Grain Purchases. In some eleva- 
tors where nearly all grain received is stored for a time, it has been 
the practice to make out storage tickets for all grain received, even 
though it be purchased on delivery. This practice is commendable
