ATTITUDE or BUSINESS
MEN MOST GRATIFYING

The state food administrator is
deeply gratified at the splendid
spirit of cooperation by New Mex
leo business men in the task Of con
serving wheat.
tutes to follow the $3.50 rule has not
been easy, there has not been 4
single complaint nor protest; every
one has been cheerful and everyone
is working his level best to comply
with the rule.
The Deming Roller Mills have in
stalled a process for grinding milo
maize flour and the flour is increas-
ing in popularity by leaps and
bounds. This plant bought from T..
ID! Garfield, of Miesse, a carload OF
milo at $4,000 and the same grower
has three more carloads available.
The Globe Mills of FL Paso wired
the food administrator they had co.
900 pounds of white corn meal over
local demand which Los Angeles
wanted. The administrator wired
merchants in the southern part OF
the state urging them to order small
shipments at once to supply the local
trade.
1t is believed that as soon as the
Temporary demand is satisfied and
car shipments al be made the price
Of corn meal will come down. While
there was a big eastern crop, early
frosts and wet weather produced
much soft corn"
The Forty-Eight Star Mill in Albu-
querque is grinding corn and will
soon be able to supply the demand
in Albuquerque and outside points.
Bond & Nohl at Espanola have To-
Gated a good supply OF corn. They
are grinding native corn for local
consumption but as soon as the
other arrives will be able to supply
outside demands. This will be a big
help in the Upper Rio Grande u
try.
Two mills in Las Vegas are grinding
native corn as fast as they can pro-
cure 1t. They are not yet able to
handle all the local demand but the
situation is relieved there.
The Clovis Mill and Elevator com.
pany, while 1t has had difficulty In
getting enough milo, is grinding milo,
feterita and kafir and will soon be
able to care for the outside trade.
The shortage of substitutes hal
been decided in the Pecos valley but
several mills are ready to grind as
soon as they can get substitutes.
The same drouthT that hit the lives
stock last year impaired the cereal.
crop.
MANY smaller plants are serving
Just as the larger mills" said Mr..
Ely today. sour people are keenly
realizing the national wheat emer-
gency and are meeting the crisis
magnificently, They are going on
the $3.50 basis cheerfully and max
ing good. New Mexico should be
proud Of her ready resourcefulness
and practical patriotism"

we're no more interested in kafir and

Now it is recognized that they are
