JUDGE SHEEP'S AGE BY ITS TEETH COARSE MESH RULES IN SPRING VEILS MARKETING CROPS MEREDITH'S HOBBY The new plant of the Astoria Flouring Mills company at Astoria, with a daily capacity of 4000 barrels, begun operations Tuesday, according to announcement made Friday by Ed gar W. Smith, president of the organ ization. The new mill, which is the fifth largest in the United States and the largest single plant west of Minneap olis, will operate in conjunction with the present mill of the company, which has a capacity of 1200 barrels so that the total capacity of the As toria company will be 6200 barrels daily. Milling engineers have already pronounced the plant to be one of the best arranged and equipped plants in the world. The mill has been located on the ground of the Port of Astor ia's municipal terminal and has a modern elevator, mill buildings, clearing house, warehouse and dock as assets. Some time ago the company made unique arrangements by cooperating with the Port of Astoria in establish ing the mill. An agreement was made whereby the port built the mill house and rented it, together with one of the elevators, a section of the dock, warehouse and other facilities, to the milling company. Through this arrangement it was decided the tonnage of the port would not only be increased, but the 1,260, 000 bushel grain elevator built by the port in 1917 would also be put to greater use. The mill will employ 150 men and it will be possible to empty the leva tor from five to six times a year. Officials of the company in addition tfe:?
