have this card the tax is 49 cents

farmers were allowed to grow 3
acres of wheat to the farm
which acreage was more than the
farm would have received under
other provisions. This type far

card as he absolutely cannot sell
his toll without a record of ev

As an example one miller in the
county this week had records
from farmers showing he had
ground enough wheat to have
200 bushels of toll. But he allow- ’
ed some few farmers who had
only a few bushels of wheat to
grind their wheat without having
a marketing card so when he
went to sell his toll he had 250
bushels of toll and records for i
only 200. The large miller or
processor to whom he was selling
would only pay for the 200 bush

the wheat prices up.

Heretofore much of the vtiamin
and mineral value of wheat has
been lost in the milling process,
due to American’s preference for
delicate white bread, it was ex

although white bread has been
an important staple food, it has
been relatively low in certain
minerals and vitamins of the B

elements, according to nutrition
experts, makes white bread one
of the richest food sources of
