His mill in Logan has a capacity of 150 | to 175 barrels, Which is three hundred 100- \ pound sacks in 24 hours. Mr, Hodges thinks jif he could get the profit thoy get here Jon their flour ho would be able to make |$300.00 a day. Ho doesn't think the Govern­ment should sell the wheat back to the mill- [ing companies for 150 to 200 less than they [pay for it.
