DelleVe, TO a misunderstanding OF
the grading of wheat"
F. d. Larabee, head of the Larabee
Flour Mill company. with mills in
Hutchinson and Stafford. Kas., who
uses about $500 bushels of wheat a
day. said:
"Ninety-five per cent of our busi-
ness Is out of the state and will be
affected by the federal verdict. OF
course l don't expect to see any i'm
mediate change In the market, but it
will come within the next sixty or
ninety days, and 1t will mean a falling
off Of five cents a bushel on wheat.
There is nothing for us to do except
to quit bleaching. We probably will
have to seek new markets for our
-four"
Chauncey Abbot. a Schuyler, Neb.,
miller, said:
Ninety per cent Of our output is
shipped out of the state, so you can
see what effect this decision will have
on us. 1t means at once reduction of
twenty-five cents barrel on -four
There is no denying that our flour Is
darker than the northern -four. We
might grind it just as white, but in

darker than the northern -four. 1t is
conceded that hard winter wheat
makes the best and most nutritious
bread in the world, and fastidlous
people under this decision, will have
to content themselves with bread
just little bit darker than they have
been getting"
Must Go IN Export Grade.
According to Kansas City grain
dealers. southwestern wheat now will
be used mostly for export trade. In
Europe, where the people are not so
particular about having absolutely
white bread, it will continue to sell
just as readily. But export grain
grades lower than that used for do
mestic milling and runs lower in
price. The time process of bleaching
which must be used under the pre-
sent decision requires something like
three months. and to compete with
the millers of other sections it will
he necessary for millers using that
process to get their wheat at a lower
price.
while have not talked to any Of
the millers, believe that the verdict
will undoubtedly result in the price of
the yellow wheat being lowered at
least five cents" w. NJ. Giles, mana
ger of Logtn & Bryan. grain dealers,
said last night: THE millers who use
1T will necessarily have to sell their
-four for new wheat -four or else hold
lit several months for bleaching.
believe that it will now be used most
ly for export trade. as was the case
before the Alsop process was discov-
cred"
Millers find very little solace in the
fact that while bleached -four cannot
be shipped in interstate commerce, it
still can be shipped from one part of
the state to another. for the percent
age Of wheat milled and sold in Kan
sas. Nebraska, Iowa and Oklahoma is
so small as to make this item one of
little consideration. Shipments of
bleached -four can be made to for
eign markets without interference by
the government.
/ Attorneys for the millers will file a
motion for a new trial within the next
twenty days. Arguments on it will be
heard by Judge Mcpherson about
September 1, when he will return to
Kansas City. If the motion is over
ruled the case will at once be carried
to the circuit court of appeals and
probably will be heard in December.
