WHEAT CROP .sl.8O PER HUNDRED
 AT DUNCAN MILL

The wheat crop in the Gila valley in ths county, and acros the line in New Mexico, is being marketed in Duncan and the farmers are receiv- ing price of $1.SO per hundred pounds from the Interstate Milling Co.,, at Duncan, which institution is in a pisition to handle the entire crop, through an arrangement made by The Bank of Duncan. Under this plan the farmer brings his wheat to the mill where it is cleaned and screamed and weighed. After deducting five per cent for shrinkage the farmer is given mill warehouse receipt for the amount of wheat. With this warehouse receipt calling for the amount of wheat at price of $1.S0 per hundred, the farmer can secure an advance from the Bank of Duncan of fifty per cent of it's face value un- til such time as the mill grinds his wheat. A majority of the farmers are taking advantage of this arrange ment and are thus securing ready cash to meet their obligations.
