Grinding Good " heat.

Manager White Of he Roller mills
states that he wheat which they are now
grinding is making much better flour
than they had anticipated being able to
make earlier in the season. The
wheat comes from Sykeston where
the mill leased the Sykes elevator
and has already secured between $4,000
and 10000 bushels OF No hard. This
Wells county wheat is the best grown in
this part of the territory this year and
the mill is fortunate in obtaining it. In
this county Mr.. White says he secured
considerable No 1 hard in the southern
part and from the vicinity Of Pingree,
but most of it was No. l and No. > north
ern. He is of the opinion that the search
ty of No. l hard Will certainly send the
price higher and says he would not care
to buy that grade for future delivery.
The milling company now has in store at
their Bismarck, jamestown and Valley
City mills about 100000 bushels.
