Miller of Fort Vallfcy, and farmer can carry his wheat to mill and get his flour the same day. Mr. Houser having the only roller mill in the county, farmers who carry their wheat have to leave it for weeks iff order to get their flour, there being at times as much as fif teen hundred bushels ahead. What we want is more mills, The wheat business is here to stay, and the man who owns a mill site and will put in a roller mill will in return receive a handsome profit on his investment. In my judgment, if we had mills sufficient there would be two bush els of wheat produced in Houston where only one is now grown. We hope to see more mills, then if the farmer finds one mill overcrowded he can go on to another. Fort Val ley says she will bef ready for the coming crop.
