Moisture And Insects Cut Wheat Profits
Extension economist L. E. Folsom warns that high moisture and insect damage in stored wheat trigger discounts as it moves to market channels. Farmers and elevator operators bear losses since merchants cannot absorb discounts while damaged wheat reduces food supply. Low moisture under 13 percent is advised as best discount insurance through proper storage and handling.

Says New Wool Wears Longer
An extension specialist at Ohio State University says fabrics made with all virgin wool wear longer than blends with used wool. Because virgin wool is scarce, blends have long been sold. Edna Callahan notes blends with more than 40 percent used wool wear less, and labels must reveal used wool content. Virgin wool fabrics are smooth and evenly woven, while added used wool creates irregular weave and harsh feel.
