GRAIN AND MILLING NEWS.

The Northwestern Milling Co. of
Helena, Mont, manufacturers of hard
wheat flour, bran and shorts and deal
ers in all kinds of grain, in its first
24-hour run recently made a record
production of 240 barrels of -four. The
mill was constructed for a 200-barrel
daily capacity.
Conditional upon the vacation by
the city of an essential street that cuts
off the two principal units of the prop
erty, the Fisher Milling Co. of Seat
tie will buy the cereal mills of the
Mount Vernon Milling Co. at Mount
Vernon and at once take possession.
The property is worth approximately
$4,000 and has a capacity of 80 to
100 barrels of cereals per day.
Astoria, Ore, loaded her first big
cargo of -four for shipment direct to
France recently. The steamer Bel
fort took on 1900 barrels at the local
mill and the shippers are the federal
food administration and the grain cor

in few days to take a similar cargo,
and within the next few weeks some
large vessels are to arrive to load grain

Paris.-President and Mrs. Wilson
came to Paris with very modest col
lection of trunks and personal baggage
but they probably will be forced to
take home a carload Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson have received so many
gifts in the course of their stay in
Paris and their visit to England and
Italy that a large quantity of them
probably will have to be taken to
Washington on an army transport
Gifts of all kinds and of all values
began pouring in the day Presidet
Wilson arrived. and they still are COM
ing in a never-ending stream. They
come from all classes Of people.
Many of the presents are priceless,
but the president values most those
having a sentimental appeal These
have come principally from children in
all parts OF Europe and from families
that have suffered by the war
President Wilson has directed that
every one should be formally acknowl-
edged Sometimes in response to a
particularly touching message accom-
panying the gifts he writes a personal
acknowledgment.
President Wilson remained at home
in the Murat mansion Sunday. He
spent the forenoon resing or working
in his study.

is (estimated) as to the winter wheat
the total acreage of spring wheat may
be about 100000 acres. The above
would indicate that the harvest Of
1919 would be in excess of the mum
Der of bushels harvested in 1918.
2. The normal pre-war annual ex
port of wheat from the United States
was, about, on the average of ten
years, 110,00O,000 bushels It is es-
timated that the total export of wheat
and -four lin terms of wheat of the
1918 crop will be about 310,00000
bushels. The export of wheat of the
1919 crop cannot be expected to reach
the volume Of the 1918 crop in view
Of the fact that Argentina, Australia
Canada, India and other wheat-pro-
ducing countries will be in the market
with their current crops and the re-
serves which they have been unable
to ship, which was not true at least
for a considerable part of the time
that the 1918 crop was being mar
keted, and the countries of Europe
will be in somewhat better situation
for home production of foodstuffs.
3. The pre-war domestic average
consumption of wheat in the United
States did not exceed 100000, 900
bushels including seed reserved, and
we think it may be assumed that the
domestic consumption out of the 1919
crop. including seed wheat reserved,
cannot exceed 64O,OOO,OOO bushels as
maximum
4. Reports indicate that the wheat
planted in the fall of 1913, enters the
winter in better condition and with
the appearance of producing a larger
per acre yield than the winter wheat
planted in the fall of 1917.
5. The plantinug of winter wheat
for the crop of 1919 is now estimated
at 49.261,000 acres. If a like increase
occurs in spring planting in 1919 over
the planting in the spring of 1918.
there would be o total acreage planted
for 1919 wheat of 1921, 600 acres. and
a yield on the basis of present indica-
tons for winter wheat and of the
iive-year yield for spring wheat of APP
proximately 1.114,5OO,OOO bushels. or
an increase of about $4,000. 900 bush
els. If we deduct the quantity needed
for seed for the 1920 crop. namely.
90,000,000 bushels, and that needed
for maximum home consumption, $780,
100000, we would have remaining for
export and carry-over 474,5OO,OOO.

In addition to the above it seems
probable that there will be a consid-
cradle carry-over from the crop of
1918. The quantity of wheat to be
handled may, of course be greater
than this; it may be smaller. The
planting in the spring of 1919 may
not be as great as that assumed
Weather conditions, while more IA
yorable than usual to date, may not
continue favorable
The following table will indicate
the possible outcome if we assume
the normal abandonment for winter
wheat and the five-year average yield
and a planting in the spring of 1919
yield for the last five years:

6. In order to meet the competi-
ton from Argentina and other coun-
tries, it seems apparent that our wheat
of the 1919 crop, for export, must be
paid for here at the guaranteed price
and perhaps sold in competition at
a price considerably below the guar
anteed price. If we sell export at a
price beloy the guaranteed price there
would be difficulty in holding our own
people to price for flour based on
the guaranteed price of wheat, even
if this was desirable.
