The Cottonwood Milling & El- evator Co. has decided to build at | once an addition to their elevator |to hold at least 100,000 bushels, This is done in order to be able to take care of the crops and have |sufficient room to store wheat /needed for the mill. | Manager Meyer informs us that | the demand for their flour is so | great that during the balance of the season the mill will run day and night. A special meeting of the stock- holders will be called at once to decide upon the kind of building to be erected and to let a contract for same. The Cottonwood Milling and Elevator Co. Tuesday commenced the manufacture of barley flour that will be placed on the market at once to assist in solving the problem offered by the new food | program. The flour will be sold y retailers at five cents per pound and the quality manufactured is said to be of the highest class, There is already a big demand for barley flour on the prairie and with no other mill in this part of the state prepared to manu’ acture this kind of flour, it is expected large shipments will be made to nearby towns. Considerable ex- tra machinery and equipment has been installed to turn out the new product, pecs Aiea Cow Taken Up.
