The grain harvest in the lowlands around Lewiston is virtually over, Joe Schmidt, manager of the Lewiston Grain Growers, said last night. He said just a few loads continue to come to the Lewiston grain elevator.
Loads of wheat and barley began to drop off to a noticeable degree Friday, and by yesterday the grain flow into the elevator was almost nil.
Mrs. Virginia Whitcomb, grain inspector at the Lewiston Grain Inspection Service, said yesterday that the wheat and barley samples are somewhat heavier than those received from the upper country. She noted the heavier barley is the quality used for malting purposes.
