a flouring mill la - southern California
than in Kansas. He had been la the
milling business In both places. He
said California mills are obliged to
ship wheat from Kansas to blend with
the soft wheat or California. Kan
wheat forms about SO per cent of the
output of his mills, and then the flour
cannot compete In the market with
Kansas flour, which commands a higher
price when put In competition. He said
the California miller keea In having to
pay freight on the bl-products, bran,
