Following is a letter from a Min
neapolis market expert on the sub
ject:
THE demand for soft white wheat
in this market is limited to manu-
~facturers of cereals and breakfast
foods. TIE demand is usually sup
.p'ied from the vicinity Of Ogden,
Utah, but the crop this year is small
ard desirable wheat is scarce, con-
sequently fancy prices are being
paid. The value Ct Baart for milling
is about 10 cents under Marquis
wheat price and it is only occasion
ally that We receive a fancy price
for wheat for cereal purposes"
This letter checks with the best
Information available on the subject,
says Mr.. Ogaard. The condition
which causes the high price at the
present time is hardly likely to be
repeated next year and the price of
Early Baart soft white wheat is like
ly to drop down to it's level Of 40
cents under Marquis wheat price
Farmers who have been tempted to
sacrifice their hard red spring wheat
acreage to soft white wheat, are ad-
vised that it will be safer to stay
with Marquis wheat.
Home Demonstrations
Home demonstration work under
the direction of the Montana State
College Extension service was car
ried on in 80 of the SIS counties.

ems division of the Extension service

Iuez LaBossier, clothing specialist
The articles made had a value o
i$33,473.60 at an estimated saving o.
