A. Englund has returned from Grand Forks, where he and others have been busy organizing a League. As I see it, it means to fight the Nonpartisan League, and they are going to send twenty speakers out to: debate the Non- partisan speakers on why the gov- ernor vetoed Senate Bill 84. I my- | self was well pleased with that veto and I fail to find a farmer in my neighborhood but what is satis- fied. In 1918 Bill 44 will be carried across, which is a better one for the taxpayers of North Dakota. C. M. ANDERSON. WELL, HERE GOES! The farmer is geing into politics. Anyone who has doubted the fact that the farmer—through the Nonpar- tisan League—is in the business for good, had his doubt rudely wiped out if he attended the meeting held yes- terday (March 27) at which a speaker for the League unfolded the startling program of the League for the next few years. nized steel.

That they are sticking to- gether is pretty well shown and just where the dire things that have been predicted for them are going to meet up with the program is certainly vague at this time. There is one feature of the meeting yesterday that is worthy of special notice. That is the appeal made to the business and professional interests to come in with the farmer—for bigger and better business in the towns which’ are the centers of farm communities.

Profits in the Spread Evidence of the profits that the grain combine makes out ef the spread in grain grades, by buying wheat as low grade and making flour out of it, con- tinue to reach the Leader office. Here are some further examples from Minnesota, showing how farmers who had got wise to the scheme, paid a good rate to the miller for grinding their wheat, and kept the profits for themselves. The lesson to be drawn from such examples as these and many others which the Leader has printed, is that the mills can and do make costly flour of wheat they buy at very low prices. It shows up their system of pretend- ing that low grades won't make flour, while they make a handsome profit on the flour they grind from it. It corroborates the findings of Dr. Ladd. It shows that the milling quality of wheat and not the mere appearance is the vital indication of its value. It shows that grades based on test weight per bushel, do not alane indicate value, but the millers know what does indicate value and utilize their knowledge in selling their product. It indicates the soundness of the North Dakota grain grading law, (effective July 1) which requires a test of the milling value in determining grain grades in all cases where there is an appeal itom the grades based on mere appearance. Melrose, Minnesqta. detor Nonpartisan: Leader: Does it pay the farmer to put his wheat through the mill? I had Marquis wheat testing 50. Most of it I sold for $1.20 and dockage, etc., etc.,, was taken.out. This was in the time when wheat was around the $2.00 mark. Figuring on the price of bran and middlings I had to pay, I concluded to have the wheat ground for fodder. Then the local buyer, and sometime miller, advised me not to do that and offered me $1.32 a bushel, 12 cents more. A general disagreement arose be- tween the farmers and the miller (local buyer). At a meeting the farmers in- formed the miller they could get their wheat ground for 20 cents a bushel and ge¥ everything back, flour, bran, middlings and screenings, in the neighboring town. In order not to lose the business the local miller agreed to do the same thmg The results on 29 2-3 bushels are as follows: I weighed 1800 pounds of wheat on my scales.
