My wheat contained a quantity of good eats, not wild oats, and the ele- vators in this vicinity were docking me to such an extent that I decided to ship a car as a trial to the Equity | Elevator at St. Paul. I not only re- ceived a grade of No. 1 for my whest, but T also got a check for $40 for the oats that had been cleaned out of my one car of wheat.. I figure that I can better pay the railroad freight out of the grain that I was being docked Lere and still be: money ahead, besides getting a square deal on weight and grading. It's me: for the Equity untit such time as we farmers get our : state owned terminal elevators.” 7 -operative Exchange Home Office, Fargo, N.D. =~ . es, St. Paul, Minn. and Sflpenof’ Wis. | %.- | | |
