STRONG MARKET FOR PRO.
DUCT EVERYWHERE
Report of Market Condition for
Product by Professor W. q.
Olin of the Agricultural
College

Fort Collins, has prepared and sum-
married. report ON market co,4di-
tions of durum wheat of this seasons
crop. The report is too long to
give in full here, but enough will be
taken from that to show that Colo
RADIO farmers need not hesitate to
grow this most excellent cereal be-
cause Colorado millers are little
bit doubtful of the market.
Millers in the farther eastern
states are buying the wheat in large
quantities and considerable portion
Is also being exported to Europe.
A lready this year 5000, 600 bushels of
this wheat has been sent to France,
and within the past three weeks
3, 900, 900 bushels have been shipped
to Marseilles, selling at good price
and grading all No. 1.
Some 10000 bushels Of this wheat
were grown by S. Glover of Glover,
North Dakota, and sold at - cents
bushel in Duluth. Mr.. Glover has
sold In all $4,000 bushels at Duluth
this season. A large part of this
is original kubanka S. P.I. No. 5639,
and l understand that he will have
quite lot of this wheat for sale as
seed.
Kubanka $500 Prof. Shepard of
South Dakota experiment station
has found possesses very fine milling
qualities, having made careful mill
ing and chemical tests of more than
thirty samples of durum wheats.
His bulletin is a positive answer to
the criticisms which have been ad-
vanced by many millers who fail to
distinguish any difference in durum
wheatS.
From Foulds' Milling Co.. of Gin
cinnati, Ohio: The sample OF
durum wheat is certainly very fine,
and looks as II 1t ought to make
superior grade Of macaroni. We got
two cars from western Kansas ana
have also purchased considerable OF
this wheat from North and South
Dakota, but none of this wheat
Dakota wheat has reached us yet.
We have milled durum wheat for
about four or five years. We did
not put in any additional or different
machinery than we were using for
ordinary -four. We grind the flour
only into semolina, which we use in
our own manufacture OF macaroni.
| We are convinced that macaronl
manufactured from the semolina
made from this durum wheat is far
superior to any ever made IN this
country before and we believe there
will be quite a field for it in that
line.'' This firm makes from 5000
to 5000 pounds of macaroni per day.
A miller's testimony for durum.
Farmers Mill g. Grain Co. of Mill
nor, North Dakota, is furnishing a
strong local market this season by
running full capacity, milling durum
wheat. They say: "The same ma
chinery which is being used for
grinding the fife or blue stem wheat
can be used in the grinding of durum
wheat. 1t is not a matter of ma
chinery but of treatment. W1tE Il
little experimentation on the part
of any up-to-date miller, he can
soon learn to grind durum wheat and
make a first class quality OF flour.
From Marield- -Gritliths Co.,
Minneapolis, Mimi: I'VE are
handling large quantities OF TINS
wheat in this market and prices have
been strong both here and in
Duluth. :"
