There are individual farmers in the
oWnship Of Bath who have raised sew

bushels or more Of wheat. Could
'hese farmers but realize the mount

Toned, and everyone ~conversant with
he facts knows that this is n ridicu-
ously low estimate, as ii is a notorious
act thai formerly the companies took
! much larger share of the farmers
'rop, on 100000 bushels, it would foot
up pretty close to s 5000. A much
arger sum would probably be nearer

Farmers in the vicinity of Bath, s.

,binping their own grain. A few have
rade a practice of it for quite a num-
Aer of years, and as others become
.uoro Of the financial benefits Of the

,ortv car loads Of wheat have been
,hipped by farmers from Bath Station,
md the number would have been larg-
~ but for the shortage Of cars during
no threshing season, which forced con-
,derable wheat into the elevators
which otherwise would not have gone
Effect of Shipments.
here 1t Is a fact worthy of note that
auca n considerable number of farm
RS have done their own shipping, the
,~eyators have been buying up a con-
,iderable smaller margin, to say moth
No about improved weights and dock
zoe. So the shipping done by part Of
lhe farmers has been a direct benefit
10 all.
Talking about weights, it Is a fact
not generally known by farmers that
when they ship their grain to Minneap-
,us or Duluth it is weighed by a state
picial, a man not interested one way
,r the other in the sale of the grain be-
ne weighed, on scales tested every
day. and a car load is weighed at one
lraft. A large share OF the wheat is
unloaded and weighed in a large hop
per, a car load at a time, and part of it
weighed on track scales, under cover
The grain unloaded and the a
scales. The fee for inspecting and
weighed back before it has left the
weighing a car, both done by state off,
.ials. Is only 10 cents. AS most farm
RS know, the weighing is done on an
lltogether different plan In the local
elevators, the grain being weighed by
The wagon load, ten to twenty drafts
70 the car load. And by a disinterest-
I'd weigher? Not much! But by an
.mploye OF the elevator company, who
b under bonds to make his weights
hold out.
Mr.. Farmer, you who have never
Ibipped out any Of your w grain,
Shich do you consider the fairer way
" having your grain weighed? Then,
Why don't you sell your grain where a
fsinterested party does the weighing.
