Recent experiments on the Ontario
Experiment Farm show that tho yeast
like micro-organism OF bitter torula Is
the cause of much bitter milk and
cheese. Factories in that section have
complained of the bitterness OF the
milk, and as a consequence the expert
ment station has conducted extensive
Investigations as to the cause. Gull
lures of the torula were added to milk
and cheese that had been sterilized.
and in each case bitter taste was
the result 1t was not found in milk
drawn into sterilized dishes, but was
found regularly In mixed milk, in the
solutions used for can washes, and
also on the leaves of trees under
which the cans were habitually kept
The remedies are to cool the milk
promptly and to guard 1t from infec-
ton OF nay kind. All cans and other
utensils should be carefully washed
and sterilized by heat The Connect
cut experiment station discovered sew
eral years ago that species Of bao-
teria was the cause Of bitter milk and

BLUEsTEM WHEAT GROWERS.
Send Open Letter to Millers of Wash
ington and Oregon

Y. c. Mansfield of Endicott, Wash,
"A member of the executive board of
the Farmers Union of Washington
and northern Idaho, has addressed the
appended "open letter" to the mill
ers of Washington and Oregon:
Gin the name of the bluestem wheat
raisers of the Inland Empire L appeal
to you to pay to US the value of our
bluestem wheat. You all frankly ad-
nit that our bluestem wheat is worth
from 10 to Is cents per bushel more
than club or red wheat, but at the
opening of the market you rarely offer
more than two cents more per bushel.
Now, would it not be better for you
as well as us to pay US what our blue
stem is WORTH In that way you would
encourage instead of discourage us in
the way of raising high grade wheat.
''Bluestem wheat is not a heavy
yielder; it rarely goes more than 80
bushels and often not more than 10
bushels to the acre. Other varieties
run from Is bushels to so bushels per
acre. Consequently we are dropping
the bluestem and raising lower grades
of wheat. Now this must work q
great hardship on the milling industry,
for you certainly can not expect to
compete in the worlds market with
-four made from low grades of wheat
alone. In fact, you are losing good
deal of your home market by not hav'
F! ing more bluestem wheat to grind
People will have good flour If they
have to have it shipped from the east
to get it.
| "Now looking at 1t from a purely
business standpoint, will it not pay
you better to pay us fully what oul
bluestem wheat is worth and thereby
encourage us in it's production, thar
it will to rob us of from s to 10 cents
a bushel on it and discourage us in
its productionf

They thought they could cinch us 6
little harder.
Today they are sorry they ever
had that thought. For today we hav,

NOW the question is: Do you mill
ers want US to build our own mills
We can do it.

rob US of 8 cents a bushel on it, a,
you usually do, you will rob us o;
$4,000. Now, $4,000 will build u
mill that will grind that wheat.

to go into the milling businessf
