MORE TRUTHS UNEARTHED

We have had several little
friendly challenges and criticisms
this week concerning the article
we published in our last edition,
headed, Undue Criticism" and
we made notes of these remarks
and went to headquarters, THE
Mill" 4" with them, and again we
believe we are able to throw bet
ter light on these matters and
advise that the street talk against
the mill and its methods. is not
only unwarranted, but is unfair
in the extreme and should stop.
We asked the manager of the
mill about the report that they
charged just double this year for
seed grain as compared to what
they paid for it, and to this, the
manager replied and verified by
his books. that he paid from
$l.65 to $2.25 per 100 pounds for
wheat up to planting time. This
wheat was received, weighed,
trucked, piled, stored and in
sured and paid for in cash, and
at planting time was taken down
from the storage piles. cleaned
loss from two to four times with a
from cleaning of around Is per
cent. The recleaned wheat was
repacked in sound bags and sold
for seed at So. .25 per 100 pounds,
just the same price that the COM
pany was paying for wheat at
that time. and later, when wheat
went up in price and with very
little on the market for sale, the
company still kept its price at
$2.25 as long as the farmer was
planting.
The company did all the work,
stood all the shrinkage, all the loss
from cleaning, furnished the ma
chinery, the labor and the power
for cleaning, stood the storage
and insurance, had its money in
vested, and sold the seed at the
same price it was paying, and
some of the seed was sold on
credit.
The company cleaned the farm
er's seed grain for nothing. gave
them pound for pound, the farm :
er could bring in dirty grain and
receive clean seed grain, pound
for pound, without waiting for
his grain to be cleaned, and
strange to say, other reports are
manufactured and circulated.
We wonder why?
Another thing we have heard
so much about, is the grain sacks.
and we were cheerfully shown
that the company receives wheat
in sacks, weighing from 130 to
140 pounds per sack, and barley in
sacks weighing about 10 pounds
per sack, while the company
packs out both it's bran and rolled
barley in 70 pound sacks, and be-
cause of this difference in weight,
the company must furnish and
stand this difference in the num-
Der of sacks required to pack the
grain and products out, which
costs from 80, 900 to $4,000 grain
sacks each, year in addition to

Editor Picayune:
 About forty citizens of North West Nevada County met at New Hope school house to dis cuss the subject of Vaccination. After most of the boys took a shot at it, it seems as though it had no charms for them. They claim it is brutal, undemocratic and unamerican. And the climax came when some one moved to endorse the Holly Springs. reso- lution of September 2l, 1917. and it was adopted by a unanimous vote.

 An Earnest Request
 The Chamber has not lightly entered upon this undertaking. It will probably never have oc- casi0n to make more earnest and more serious request of it's members. Men who stay at home must help win the war; here is a chance for every man, in the true spirit of American energy, to put his individual shoulder to the wheel.
