Perhaps there is no plant that would more
stimulate the raising Of wheat In this section,
than that Of first class roller mill. NOW
wheat when raised has to be carried sucn long
distances to be ground that many faii 70 raise
II. as much or more on that account than any
other. A good mill would create demand
for wheat, and would establish market for
all OF the surplus, at remuneratVe price,
and many Of the now all cotton men wonld
midsummer cash, which ia often badly need.
en-. at this date. Now they have TO depend
upon butter, chickens, eggs and such minor
com modities to furnish the cash for their spe.

or men make the venture? From reports

or mills here, would do great things for this
section. We have as fine wheat lands as can
be found, and under proper management,
which an easy access to market and ready
sale which would be reached, by first class
mills would bring about, would add greatly
to the value of our lands and the prosperity
of our country.
