WHEAT FOR WESTERN GRAIN Farmers. Making 25 to 30 Cents Per Bushel on Deal A number ,1 farmers feeding wheat in Western and Central Ontario are trading their Ontario winter wheat for Western wheat and making 25 to 30 cents a bushel .on the deal, according to advices reaching the Ont. Dept. of Agriculture. This not only gives the farmers bushel for bushel, but a tidy profit as well which may be put to various cash uses such as repair parts for machinery, purchase of baby chicks, commercial fertilizers, etc. With feed on many farms showing prospects of running low before pas- ture time, many farmers are exchang- ing wheat and putting the profit into more Western grain. This is true in a number of counties, according to deal- er reports, where half the wheat crop is yet to be sold or fed, These dealers state that Lambton farmers are trad ing their wheat freely making 30 cents a bushel on the deal. Huron reports more wheat is being traded all the time with a 80 cent profit. Bruce farmers are also trading and so are those in North York, according to re- ports. The Ontario wheat being exchanged is going to the millers for pastry flour, it is stated. e SALEM Miss Kathleen Willits of Brussels, spent Sunday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Willits.
