The county millers and elevatormen
are in no great rush to buy new crop
wheat for July delivery. One miller
said on Thursday that he preferred
to see and test wheat before making
price and that he knew of none of
his friends in the milling business
who had so far contracted for grow
ing grain.
The recent drop in July and Sep
TENDER prices, and the varying re-
ports as to conditions in the winter
wheat belt, have made grain dealers
a bit wary and uncertain. AS one ell
evator manager puts it: 1--WE can al
ways buy wheat as we need it, and
at the going market price, so why
should we get into a sweat before the
grain is cut. 1t can't fly away" This
is true, of course, but even so, few
crops have been bought at around 81
and as high as $1.10. But we didn't
strike a miller on Thursday who cared
/ to bid over IS cents for July delivery
of No. 2.
! Report From Camden
| The report from the Eikenberry ell
evator at Camden shows that they are
/ inclined to pay but 50 cents for July
delivery wheat, this being just 10
cents below their current bids for old
wheat I'VE haven't bought any
wheat for July delivery so far this
season, although we usually do buy for
later delivery at this season, said the
party on the wire Fact is prices
are so low, the farmers think, that
they don't care to SELL We expect
an early harvest around Camden, and
/ to be receiving grain by July 1. Corn
is looking fine and while not yet in
| iured is beginning to need rain
! College Corner Milling Co.
The manager OF the College Corner
milling company says that wheat
down his way is looking only fair
and that he thinks it has gone back
some in the past two weeks. There
is. however. some early ripenine
fields and he expects that the frs
harvesting operations will begin or
! a few farms on Saturday morning, i
weather is favorable. He also states
that there is plenty of red rust show
ing, it being seen almost everywhere
but that red rust does but little harm
as a rule. Corn is in splendid shape
Just now. The mill was offering
S1.OS for wheat on Thursday but ha:
not yet contracted for any new crol
grain.
A report from Fred Schlientz anC
Son office at Eldorado was to the ef
feet that there is both red and blacl
rust in the fields in that section, al
though the grain is not badly infested
as a rule, except in small odd spots
The man at the phone said he did no
expect to see any harvesting done t
amount to anything for at least tw,
weeks, unless a hot dry spell shoule
result in premature ripening. NJ
wheat had been bought from the farm
ers for July delivery up to Thursda!
night. we are told. Farmers are busy
in their corn, which looks very prom
ising.
Want to See the Wheat
1--WE haven't bought any new croI
wheat" said the manager of the mil
at Cambridge City, because we pre-
fer seeing and testing grain before
making a price on it. We are taking
a little old wheat at S1.05. but couldn'
contract for July deliver of No. q
that price today, the market not war
ranting that high a figure. After do
ing some inspecting and talking Wit
our farmers We are beginning to b;
afraid that a lot of our wheat is tt
1 run No. 8. 1t shows some smut and
plenty of red rust, but the rust doe:
little damage as a rule, but may b:
worse this season where the fields
have been too dry. Phe dry season
may be responsible for some ligh
: grain, anyway"
