English miller enjoys having to-
grind such, diversity of wheats. If
he could set constant supply of the
same wheat it would both Simplify
his milling and enable him to turn
out a more uniform sualitv Of -four
But since. from the small Gnf.1l,,..ts'
of home grown wheat available. this
is not possible, he has been forced to
take such wheats as he can set and
try - osend then. in such a manner
that, if any one or two. sorts fail him,
ne can substitute others and conform,
within certain wide margin, to a
tolerably uniform flour standard.
While this method of wheat blend
ing has its manifest difficulties and
disadvantages, it has the good fea-
ture that the English miller is there
| by enabled to profit by any wheat
that is at all serviceable and
| can be obtained at a low price, in a
way that American millers, who
] grind single wheats, or at most a
| limited assortment, cannot. Hence it
is that the English miller is so much
better able than the American to
grind a considerable percentage of
durum wheat.
| Second, as to price. Whoever takes

4 wheat like No. / northern, In Duluth

luth price is relatively higher than
the Liverpool price for the same
grade. The Minnesota mills, owing
to their demand for spot wheat for
grinding, pay more than the parity
