BAD FOB FARMERS.
AN EXPERIMENT WITH sMuTTY
WHEAT IN DULUTH.
An Elevator Attempts to Clean soms
of the Wheat but Fails, and the
Elevators May Hereafter Refuse
to Handle Any OF 1t.

Duluth, Aug. M.-One Of the big ele-
vator systems made an experiment
yesterday afternoon with some of the
smutty wheat which is coming in so
freely from the new crop. The result
indicated that the item of smut IL go
ing to cut very important figure In
determining the price the farmers will
receive for their wheat this full and
winter. The elevators were unable to
remove the smut. Thorough expert
ments were made with all the clean
ing and purifying machinery in the
elevators. The only result was to
break up the smut balls and thor
oughly mix 1t with the wheat, the
smut ndhering to the hairy end of the
kernel.
In order to remove the foul sub
stance it would be necessary to use a
kernel. which the elevators here are
not Ollowed to use. This in the opinion
of the management of the system
which made the experiment leaves no
alternative but to refuse to handle the
smtitty wheat The smut is said to be
poisonous stuff. as contagious. SO far
us the other wheat In the same bin is
concerned, as the smallpox is with hu-
man beings.
There Is no doubt but that this item
will enter into sufficient proportion
