If you do not have this card the tax is 49 cents per bushel. Now: a good many 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 mer is not permitted to sell any wheat at all unless he pays the tax of 49 cents per bushel, how ever he can pay toll to get his grain harvested by thresher or combine and is allowed to P a y toll to get the wheat ground into flour. Do not get mad wnth your miller if he refuses to grind your W'heat til you get the marketing j card as he absolutely cannot sell his toll without a record of ev ery bushel of wheat he grinds. 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 els on which the local miller had records and the'excess 50 bushels was held for 49 cents per bushel tax.
