ed to investigate a small! size -four
mill at Halstad, Minn., and at Far
go,5sN. D., submitted their report.
The mills investigated were Of a
/ 25 bbl. capacity, and the committee
was fully convinced that the mill
would, do what it was claimed, and
the -four ground on these mills was
equally as good as the First Patent
flour ground by the big milling COM
panies, and this was further proved
by T. Eide. who purchased a SO lb.
sack of flour that was ground on
one Of these mills he visited, and he
Eclaimed the flour was equal to the
best he has ever bought.
5K The committee was strongly in
favor. that the farmers Of this COM
] smunity should own and operate such
"a hour mill, as a net saving on
leach 100 Tbs. Of flour would be from
/ so to 80 cents and beside getting
