Omaha for the purpose of arranging for a
convention of grain growers OF the six
great wheat producing states to take place
in Omaha June 8. and 7. An invitation

ton in this city and Mr.. Everitt was as
sured Of the hearty cooperation and moral
support Of the club

ties by the formation OF a national mutual
interest organization. Mr.. Everitt reports
that he organized the tobacco growers OF
the country so as to obtain much higher
prices for their products and II IL the aim
of the association to organize wheat
growers I'm the same manner.
Delegates representing the local unions
of the society will meet in the convention
next June to devise plan Of action for
the holding OF the 1907 wheat crop until
a price of 81 per bushel can be obtained.

NEW INDUSTRY FOR OMAHA
Plant to Grind steel MIL Rolls VIII
BE Established by sunder-
lands.

Machinery has been ordered by the Sun
derland Roofing and Supply company for
the establishment of a plant In Omaha for
grinding and corrugating steel rolls used in
large rolling mills. The plant will be in
operation within sixty days in the building
bought by the company last fall at Tenth
and Douglas streets and win give employ
meut to about ten skilled mechanics.
1t is the purpose Of the Sunderland COM
pany to establish the best plant west OF
Chicago and cater to the trade OF Utah.
Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, the Dakotas
and Nebraska. The millers OF the several
states in the territory have been obliged
to send their rolls for grinding to Dubuque
or Chicago and much of the work will now
be diverted to Omaha.
The machinery which has been ordered
will cost about $500 and is OF delicate con-
struction. The rolls used for crushing
grains have to be ground perfectly true
and even from one end to the other to the

HARM OF FROST AT MINIMUM
Mischief in West and Southwest VIII
Not Affect Prices Greatly
as Expected.

Contrary to the general impression, the
harm Of recent heavy frosts throughout
the west and southwest will be at a mini
mum as far as the Omaha produce mar
kets are concerned, although the consumer
will notice slight advance in price on
early fruits.
The strawberry crop in Arkansas, Texas
and the south has not been injured and the
same condition prevails in regard to the
berry crop 10 western Iowa and Nebraska
where the crop was not far enough ad-
vanced to be materially injured.
The frost has set back the southern crop.
which will rebound to the benefit Of local
merchants by delaying the pick and pre-
vent congestion in large shipments. One
car of southern berries arrived Tuesday
and another Wednesday. whereas II the
growing crop had not been retarded slightly
by frosts shipments would have been so
heavy as to cause trouble in their rapid
disposition.
Slight damage to the berry crop is re-
ported in northern Missouri. but the only
small fruit damaged in this section of the
country is apricots, which probably will
be a total loss. Raspberries, blackberries,
cherries apples and plums have not been
seriously hurt by frost and the effect of
slight frost on plum trees will have a ben
eficial effect by reducing the heavy growth
and increasing the size of the fruit Some
early peaches have been killed by frosts,
! but a good crop of later varieties is ex-
pected.

Concord grapes, which have not suffered
