Mustard is worth over five times as much as wheat
and they don't pay us penny. It only costs few
cents to take that stuff out of the wheat; the wild
oats and peas and stuff of that kind and the wheat
is just as good for milling purpose if it didn't
have anything in it.
After they take out the things valuable
than wheat, they pick out the pigeon seed and little
stuff that they can't classify, grind it up into stock
food and put some iniment of kind in it,
and send it back to at good big price, (I.augh-
ter) They go farther than that. There is some
land in the north that is pretty foul. We raise
lot of wild oats up there. and we have been giving
them away We have discovered what they do with
them. We farmers know that in the spring we have
to feed our horses pretty good strong feed to keep
them going We don't feed them corn stalks ETC.,
IT we have hard work for the horses, but we have
to feed them something to keep the iron in their
bones and steel in their muscles so that they can
stand the work.
Now, the North Dakota farmer is good deal like
the horse. In order to be able to give up that
$55,000000 year, ST. 200 apiece, and still stay in
