Some kinds of grain, notably flax, are almost always given office inspection, since it is difficult to determine the grade satisfactorily with the hasty inspection on the track. Grading rulcg.âThe rules for grades of grain are much the same in all American grain markets.

No. 2 Yellow Corn.âShall be three-fourths yel- low, dry, reasonably clean but not plump enough for No. 1. No. 3 Yellow Corn.â Shall be three-fourths yel- low, reasonably dry and reasonably clean, but not sufficiently sound for No. 2. No. 1 While Corn.â Shall be sound, dry, plump and well cleaned. No. 2 Wliite Corn.âShall be seven-eighths white, dry, reasonably, clean, but not plump enough for Nol. No. 3 Uliite Corn.âShall be seven-eighths white, reasonably dry and reasonably clean, but not suffi- ciently sound for No. 2. No. 1 Corn.â Shall be mixed corn, of choice quality, sound, dry and well cleaned. No. 2 Corn.âShall be mixed corn, dry and rea- sonably clean, but not good enough for No. 1. eral interpretation, and it must rest with the chief inspector as to just what shall constitute the actual grade limits.
