During the peat three years millers sod owners of chopping plants have charged 5 ante a bag for chopping. Until within a year or eo ago the formate were content to have the grain ground coarsely and then 5 cents waa a fair remuneratiou. Now, however, the choppers state, the farmere want the coreale ground very fine and owing to the advance in fuel and the oast of labor it is imperative that the ooet of chopping must be increased, they maintain. It 10 probable that the eat will be raised to 7 oe01e, and at this figure, the ohoppere say, there will be only a reasonable profit. UIIWWII CHIMES.
