farmers in York County who have
not bought barrel of flour in ten
years. They raise wheat Why
could others not do likewise +?
Several years ago the farmers in
this section gave as an excuse for
not raising wheat that it was imposi
sible to get it ground in satisfac-
tory manner, as there were no mills
here that could turn out a product
that even compared to the lowest
grades of flour made by the Western
mills This prop has been knocked

ful operation in York County to day,
and they manufacture -four that is
the equal of the Western product in
every respect. There are also seve-
raj mills in Spartanburg and Green

assured that if they will create de-
mand for up to date mills by raising
wheat the want will be supplied.
