Guaranteed Weekly Circulation in excess of 60,000 Copies < New York Kansas City It’s Coming—Canada’s “Feed” Wheat ANADA'’S “‘Feed D’’ wheat is going to flood the United States C and the grain trust is happy. On April 17 the United States gov- ernment removed the tariff of ten cents per bushel on wheat from Canada into this country, and released to the eager millers of Mimne- apolis and elsewhere the millions of bushels of lew grade wheat that the Canadian farmers have not been able to sell before. ““This means a steady stream of wheat into the Uinted States from Canada, especially of the lower grades, which are much cheaper than the contract grades, but which are very superior flour-making' grades and will be used in every available way by every American miller who ean possibly reach into this supply’’, says an enthusiastic report from Chicago in spreading this good news. Just what the Leader always said! Just what Dr. Ladd said, and just what the millers in Ottertail and Becker counties, Minnesota said when they could get no other kind of wheat to grind—mamely that this ‘‘low grade’’ wheat would make good flour, and that the millers know it and are constantly using it in making good flour. But Secre- tary McHugh of the Minneapolis chamber of commerce went clear to Pullman, Washington, a while ago to tell the grain growers out there that there was nothing to this prattle about low grade wheat being good flour. ‘‘That’s what Dr. Ladd says, but we don’t take him very seri- ously’’ said Mr. McHugh in a painful attempt to be funny, when some Washington state farmers took him up on his assertions and denials in regard to the low grade wheats. The Northwestern Miller, and the American Miller, grain combine papers of Minneapolis and Chicago re- spectively have been vigorously bombarding Dr. Ladd for his discover- ies in the milling and baking tests of wheat. C.J. Brand, official grade maker of the bureau of markets in the federal 'department of agricul- ture said that Dr. Ladd’s tests were no good. All the newspapers that work for Big Business have ridiculed Dr. Ladd and abused the Non- partisan Leader for giving countenance to this newly published discovery. And now right while the grain ring was planning to grab a few. million bushels of this ‘‘feed’’ wheat to make flour to feed their cus- tomers, a dispatch from the very center of food gambling comes out with a jubilant announcement of the welecome the grain ring is going to give it. The dispateh even states in most forceful language that while this wheat is ‘‘cheap’’ it comprises ‘‘very superior flour-making grades’. It ‘“‘will be used in every available way by every American miller”’. Tt is to come in ‘‘a steady stream from Canada’’, and all this hurrah applies ‘‘especially to the lower grades’’. The reason this wheat is now available is because the ten-cent tariff wall has been temporarily removed. A few millers who found occasional lots cheap enough to jump the tariff wall with it, have been importing this cheap Canadian ‘‘feed’’ wheat for flour-making right along. But these shipments have been so infrequent that they have been thought worthy of special mention in the market news columns of the big city papers (which by the way never publish anything con- trary to the interests of the grain gamblers if they know. it). The movement has-been nothing compared to what it is now to become. It is to come by the trainload and go to make the mills hum. Every American miller wants a grab at it. In the eagerness to make these additional profits, the grain ring forgot for the minute that it had been stoutly denying that this kind of wheat could be used for making flour. It forgot that it was tear- ing down with one hand what it had been laboriously building up with the other. The vision of profits overcame the customary caution, and the bucket shop reporter, sending the glad tidings broadeast to the grain trade, told the truth. Sorry for the Farmers - (Editorial in St. Paul Daily News) . deluded farmer, who continues placing The one great outstanding fact devel- oped at the investigation of the Equity Co-operative Grain exchange by the Tiegen house committee is the wonder- ful and beautiful sympathy the Minne- apolis chamber of commerce now has for the farmers of the Northwest. These brotherly grain speculators weep briny tears as they point out business errors made or alleged to have been made by Equity. Each time it is charged that .an ‘Equity farmer lost a fraction of a cent by sending his wheat to St. Paul these heart-broken Minneapolis commission men throw supporting arms about each - other and bewail the fate of the poor SIXTEEN his trust in cb-operative marketing methods rather than in chamber of commerce channels. It is peculiar, however, that all the mourners on the front bench are at- tached to strings 1leading to the chamber of commerce interests, which have long attacked Equity in every conceivable way. And it is rather odd that the farm- ers who have been shipping, their wheat to the St. Paul market are not finding fault with Equity. : But, of course, that is because the farmer is such a stubborn, cantanker- ous cuss that he doesn’t appreciate the philanthropic efforts of those whe in- _sist on being his guardians.
