An August 7 order by the Canadian Wheat Board allows malting barley producers with low seeded acreage to ship a full carload of 1 667 bushels under a delivery permit for the 25 000 National Barley Contest. The base quota stays at 10 bushels per seeded acre, and the extra carload is not in addition to the general quota.
The notice explains that producers must not mix deliveries. A grower who delivers the 10-bushel quota cannot also deliver a separate carload. If a carload is made, it must include the 10-bushel quota, and the larger of the two amounts applies.
A circular from the National Barley Contest Committee led by Prof. T. J. Harrison outlines how to prevent threshing damage to malting barley. It warns that improper threshing can ruin the crop and lists twelve causes such as high cylinder speed, uneven feeding, and improper sieve and wind adjustments, urging continual machine checks as moisture changes.
