Burlington, May 27.-Decided reduc-
ton In prices for wheat mill feeds have
been ordered by the United States food
adrntnistrat ton, which calls attention to
the fact that the price of mill feeds is
decided factor in the ultimate cost OF
many feed commodities. Altho it las
brought about a general downward
movement in mill seed prices, the food
administration points out that the
amount of wheat mill feeds to be OBJ
tanned is small in proportion to the de-
mand, and that the most practicable
means Of reducing feeding costs lies in
a more general use of the coarse grain
by-products which may now be had in
abundance. Hominy feeds have lately
declined about s25 a ton, and rye and
barley feeds have fallen in proportion.
Based on Wheat Prices.
Under the new schedule, prices are
still based on the price of wheat. The
maximum bulk price of bran bears the
same relation TO wheat as formerly

no more than SIS higher. Shorts,
standard middlings, gray shorts and
gray middlings now bear bulk price
that must not exceed bran by more

These new price margins are the
outcome Of an investigation into pres
ent milling methods. With the larger
percentage of flour now being milled
from wheat, the quantity Of middlings
and red dog has declined materially.
These prices are for bulk carloads at
