said on Friday morning: This isn't a
rye country, but at that we have tax
en- in 10 bushels so far"
| This made US little curious and so
we extended our inquiries a trifle. |
/ The manager of the Milton Grain COM
| pany, operating at Milton, Beeson's
! Station and Bentonville, said they

| no win their bins. THE threshing
season is about over" said he, "and
| will wind up soon. There may be a
couple of days threshing around Ben
tonville, but none remains to be done
near Milton. Our rye cost US from
81 to $1.10, the market on rye being
rather active toward the end of July.
| Wheat is coming in slowly at this time
only two wagon loads being offered at
Milton on Thursday"
