In addition to the above ten North

Many Mills Idle.
In speaking of this condition the
Northwestern Miller says,
"a contributing factor to reduced
wheat consumption is the steadily de-
creasing number of small country
mills. Many are idle, and those
which burn or fail are usually not re-
built or again placed in operation"
This is a serious condition Of affairs
and one for which a remedy must oe
found, if possible. 1t is a worthy am
bition that North Dakota producers of
grain should desire to e that grain
manufactured into its marketable
parts in it's own mills. The state

Reason for Decline.
1t has been suggested by those best
qualified to know that. the probable
reason for this falling off in North
Dakota milling is due to the inability
Of country millers to secure enough
local trade to absorb their output, and
taat outside competition has made
