All in all 1918 was one of the most
prosperous years the Eagle Roller
Mill Co. ever enjoyed. The combined
output Of both the wheat and the rye
and corn mills exceeded that OF any
previous year There has been q
good, steady demand practically all
the time from eastern markets. with
no great buying excitement or de-
preston. Tariff legislation made
buyers conservative but q healthy
demand existed and bad to be- met,
tariff or no tariff, so that little effect
was felt here at the mills.
The total number Of bushels of
wheat, rye and corn ground was
3, 152, 2;34 and the output of wheat and
rye flour and corn meal was 1, Ia, 941
barrels. The offal amounted TO
80, las, $40 pounds. 1883 tons of coal
were used at a cost of $50, 1856 %, or
sl6l 90 per day.
There are 1872 employees in New
Ulm, including the officers OF the
company. There are IS agents and
assistants employed at the country
elevators. The travelling force ill.,
ending branch managers, speci atty
statesmen, etc. consists of 80 persons
which makes a grand total OF 3O7
persons who are on the pay roll.
The total expenditures for the year
exclusive of the cost OF grain amounted
to 1914, 905. 80 and the amount of bust.

Figuring 10000 pounds of feed as the
average weight per car and 200
barrels OF flour as the average weight
per car. it required 1895 cars to move
the products which divided into trains
OF 90 cars each equals los train loads,
half train load per day for the
working year. This gives some idea
OF the enormous amount Of -four and
feed manufactured at the Eagle plant.
Z The great eastern cities get the
greater share of the flour altho
"Danie' Webster" Flour is standard
grade in many North and South
Dakota stores. The export trade is
comparatively light aud no agents are
maintained in the foreign field. Never
theless, there is constantly growing
demand for the New Ulm product ia
Europe and 10 Our insular posses
siOnS.
The manufacture Of corn and rye
goods is more or less of q side issua
with the company and until recently a
mill OF 400 barrel capacity has been
able to meet the demand. But. there
has been developed such !, strong
demand for this class OF produces that
the present mill can no LONGER meet
the needs with its present CAPACITY
and it has been decided that, inst as
soon as the weather permits, the
capacity OF the corn and rye millmust
be doubled. The total capacity will
then be 800 barrels per day. This will
require the installation of an adj
ditiona al engine and boilers and will
mean an outlay of approximately
$50, 0OO.UO
Figures give but small idea of the
actual magnitude of New Ulm's
largest manufacturing concern. To
FULLY appreciate the bigness of the
plant one must follow the wheat from
the time it is placed on the giant
scales that weigh an entire carload
within ten pounds of actual weight.
