May Wheat Breaks Records

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 12.-Ten
thousand bushels of wheat were deliv-
cred on May contracts yesterday at
the Minneapolis chamber of commerce
by local cereal company to a -four
company, making the first delivery so
far this month, circumstance without
precedent here.
In past seasons, the deliveries on the
first day of May alone frequently have
run to quantity representing 81, OOO,,
900 in value and by May 2, such trans
actions normally should have run we'll
into the millions.
The reason May contract deliveries
have been so light is that there is a
continued demand for highgrade mill
ing wheat, part of which comes from
the south and southwest, where the
quality of last years crop was poor,
officials of the chamber of commerce
said. The consequence is that it has
been possible to obtain a spot cash
price Of three to five cents more than
the price for May for wheat of con-
tract quality arriving in Minneapolis.

THE FARMING THAT PAYS

Hastings Times: John Freadhoff
tells us that he made more clear money
with his so acres of corn and 70 hogs
last year than from the balance of
three quarter sections planted to wheat
and other small grains. This should
be a practical lesson to some of our
farmers who still persist in gambling
on crop of small grain alone.
