M'ain became soaked and soft and
much of i was rendered unfit for mil-
ling purposes. As a consequence the
wheat requires a great deal of mixing
and grading, and sonic of the big mill-
ers are thinking or senuing to the north
for wheat to help out. a very unusual
occurrence. As a rule northern millers
send to Kansas for wheat to bring up
their grades.
There is still considerable 1901 wheat
in some localities, and this is the best
kind of milling wheat, and is com-
manding a high premium Last year
the wheat was of an unusually high
grade and this combined with Its nge
where it has been will kept makes it
specially desirable.
"It is a fact that a considerable
amount of this year s crop is not hrst-
class milling wheat." said A. P. Collips,
who is connected w.m the Farmers Ll-
evator company at Solomon. "The
crop this year is a great deal harder
to handle than that last year, because
it requires so much more cleaning and
grading an consequently takes a
great deal of bin room. There is a great
deal of old wheat with us. however:
which is first-class. The farmers sold
their crops this year without trying to
bin it. because it wasn't the kind of
wheat that would keep well. Conse-
quently they did not need the room
where their last year's wheat was stor-
ed. and they are still hanging on to it.
I "The shortage in milling heat will
make better prices for 'hat which is
good. We have handled twenty-one
cars of wheat in the past two weeks,
and are doing more business than the

northwestern wheat for mixing with
their own in order to fetch their flour
up to a merchantable grade The same
situation prevails to a greater or 1
extent in other parts of the southwest
and even in southern Minnesota and
Iowa.
The extent of the damage to the
southwestern wheat and of the • I• maud
from that quarter uixm the northwest
is as vet uncertain. Some of the Min-
neapolis millers have advices to the
effect that only ten per cent of the re-
