for ''the Miller's Almanack and Year
Book, published by the Northwestern
Miller at Minneapolis, the flour out
put in Minnesota during 1926 was
close to twenty-five million barrels;
24,217,S91 barrels, to be exact.
OF this vast aggregate -four produc-
ton, 12,509,056 barrels were produced
by the Minneapolis mills. The Du-
luth mills had an output of 1,005, 1868
barrels and those in st. Paul, 570,571

barrels.
The average prices of flour per bar
rel at Minneapolis during the year
1926 were SS.76 for First Patent" and
s6.S7 for First Clear.
On the basis of an average of these
two prices, the years output of Min
