=, w. F. Steele, the Kidder county
farmer, is pretty thoroughly con-
versant in his own mind that there
is something rotten in Duluth in
the matter of wheat grading. The
fact that No. l hard brings 79 cents
at Duluth at the same time that No.

while the difference in transporta-
tion between Duluth and Buffalo
and Chicago and Buffalo is Less than
two cents, causes him to strongly
that somebody is making
good deal of money by designedly
grading wheat below it's true value.
