Two other mills in Minnesota, doing a- custom milling business for the farmers, besides the Phelps mill, have’ been grinding light-weight wheat at 1215 cents a bushel for the farmers (the " Phelps mill ¢harged 15 cents). - And . these two other mills have got the same grade of “excellent flour from 'so-called “feed” wheat ‘that both the Phelps mill and Dr. - _wheat the elevators -and big mills spurned at - 60 t0 90 cents a bushel, th%ugh'flse big ‘mills were using: this evidence about light- . dd' feund .could be made from- wheat and selfling - the ‘flour for high prices. | ; : .These two, other mills are located at Richwood,. north of Detroit, Minn., and at Audubon, Minn. Hundreds of farmers are now patronizing ‘them and the - Phelps mill and getting returns from wheat they were ‘offered less than $1° for which net them $1.60 to $2 a bushel. The Leader is going to.investigate these mills more fully, but in the meantime prints herewith a letter from Mr. Harris of McHugh, in regard to what he has "<found out about them: -McHugh, Minn., Dec. 21, 1916. Tditor Nonpartisan Leader: e Believing that all members should sen in all the information that might benefit the people at large, I send the following: On December 4 Mr. H. P. Watson of McHugh, Minn., a League member, took 29% bushels of.very badly rusted Mar- quis wheat that weighed only 43 pounds (test weight) to the bushel, to the Rich- wood mill, about 12 miles north of De- troit.. For grinding he paid 12% cents per bushel. ~In return he received 685 pounds of better flour than the No. 1 1915 wheat made, ground in the same mill; 85 pounds of “red dog”; 9456 pounds. ~of shorts and: ‘bran and 90 pounds of screenings. : 2k A It is claimed that 'rusted: Marquis . wheat produces twice as much bran and shorts as rusted blue stem and fife. . . “‘The flour from this badly rusted wheat makes better s bread with a better flavor thiln the 1915 flour, a sack of which Mr. Watson still has on hand. . - Also from this “poor?1916 wheat HE HAD TAKEN ‘RESOLVED THAT PEOPLE THE BEST 8 aboi ut on.
