TRAFFIC ~
Knowledge, comfort, wealth, evensafety, are depend-
ent on the highways over which men go. Every in-
crease in a road’s usability is a fourfold benefit.
Today permanent highways have proved that they
~ are both most usable and also ultimately cheapest.
And the one material that makes this possible is
Portland Cement, which, despite wide general de-
mand, remains the cheapest of all manufactured
products.
Atlas, through developing the rotary kiln, did more
than anyone else to make Portland Cement actually
cheaper today than thirty years ago. And in select-
ing the building material dealer as the only link be-
tween Atlas and user, assured distribution economy.

From a review of the statistics on
wheat production in Pennsylvania |
for the past eleven years the figures
show very clearly that there has
been very little variation in acreage
and production.

1914 1,812,000 24,272,000

1028 onli 1,260,960 24,380,710
14,711,460 267,493,490
1,837,405 acres average.
18.2 bushels per acre.
24,317,690 average yield per year.
These figures tend to show that
the crop rotation in Pennsylvania is
fixed and wheat production is an im-
portant factor in that rotation and
farmers cannot make much of a
change in acreage without seriously
effecting the crop rotation and soil
fertility. Since this is true our
next step is to make wheat produc-
tion profitable and to make it profit-
able—
The Farmer must meet these con-
ditions thru:
1. Minimum cost of production.
This means principally obtaining the
maximum yield per acre, accomplish-
ed thru crop rotation, fertilization,
seed selection and treatment, disease
and insect control and other meas-
ures.
2. Highest quality of product. This
means standardization of varieties
and production of those varieties
most in demand by the miller and
consuming publie. Our exportable
surplus always consists of inferior
varieties and inferior grades that are
not in demand by the miller. Penn-
sylvania is growing approximately
forty-five different varieties of
wheat when five to ten varieties
would be sufficient. Consequently,
the other varieties and low grades
are thrown on the export market in
such quantities that the price re-
flects back te the mill and effects the
price paid for good milling wheat.
Information as to best milling
varieties, fertilization, treatment for
disease, insect control, ete. can be
secured through local County Agent
and Extension Department of State
College.
3. Adjustments to the require-
ments of the market. Our chances
for successful competition in the
world wheat market with other
countries and states with vast ex-
panses of new land, pioneer popula-
tion, greater production per acre,
less cost, ete, are very slight. There-
fore, systematic or orderly market-
ing, increased consumption of home-
grown products through the above
suggestions is our only solution.
From our records of marketing
Pennsylvania grown wheat it is
clearly shown that approximately
85% -of the wheat marketed, es-
pecially for export, is thrown on the
market in approximately three
months’ time. This method of mar-
keting overtaxes the storage capa-
city of both mill and export elevators
and greatly reduces the price of
wheat during that time. There must
be better storage facilities on the
farms or more farmers’ cooperative
elevators to take care of this surplus
in order to give more orderly mar-
keting of grain. Assistance in this
work can be gotten through the
Pennsylvania Department of Agri-
culture, Bureau of Markets.
The Miller—
1. Should purchase his wheat by
grade and pay a premiym for best
grades,
2. Should segregate by texture and
mill a pastry flour from the starchy
wheat and strengthen the hard tex-
ture by blending with spring wheat
flour in sufficient quantities to satis-
fv the baker.
3. Should

bins and machinery, install |

ture.
4. Mills should be standardize

of flour produced. Surplus

These poorer varieties have in-
creased to such an extent that the
acreage is even greater in some sec-
tions than the acreage of the good
milling varieties and if mixed and
milled together harm the flour, both
for bread and pastry baking.
One miller at least who attended
the State Convention and heard our
suggestions decided to follow them
and thus far the results have proven
very satisfactory. A sample of his
flour was sent to the Ward Baking
Company of New York by a baker
for a test and the following is an
extract from the Ward Baking
Company's letter:
“This, in our opinion, is a wonder-
ful grade of flour, having a very
high wet and dry gluten content,
low ash and a standard ratio. This
flour should make an A No. 1 loaf

Samples of this flour sent to
bakers in Milton, Sunbury and Har-
risburg have also met with great
satisfaction and has resulted in the
placing of large orders with this
mill. The pastry flour has been
greatly improved by milling of the
starchy wheat separately and has re-

sulted in big orders for this grade of
flour.
There are some mills in the state
which will be handicapped by their |
location and which will not be in a |
position to take advantage of the |
blending with spring wheat. How- |
ever, these millers should not over-
look the necessity of buying by
grade and segregating texture. They |
can still mill an excellent pastry
flour and resell or trade their hard
texture wheat for bread flour for
local trade. This would mean close
co-operation of millers in each sec-
tion of the state and I hope they can
see that this movement would mean
mutual benefit.
It would be much safer for millers
to co-operate and buy from each
other where millers have segregated
the wheat by texture than to buy
from track buyers who have loaded
a car regardless of quality or tex-
ture, for after the wheat is once
mixed texture cannot be segregated.
Of course, grain buyers who have a
warehouse with bins could offer this
service to millers and be of great |
help to them.
The Baker—
1. Should eliminate his prejudice
for Pennsylvanis milled flour and
co-operate with the miller to use |
home milled products.
2. Should offer suggestions and |
assist the millers in producing a
blend that can be used satisfactorily
by him in his bakeries,
3. Should start a campaign to en-
courage the consumption of more
bread in the State made from home-
grown wheat and milled in our own |
mills,
The average yield per acre of |
wheat in Pennsylvania exceeds the
average yield for the whole United
States and since it is grown in a.
State where the value of the baking '
industry is estimated at 1-6 of the |
value of the whole United States, |
the acreage should not be decreased |
unless it is actually impossible to |
utilize the quality of wheat grown in}
the State. If the wheat acreage is
to be decreased in the United States,
it should be done in the area of low
vield and a great distance from the
market, and where wheat is not a
necessary part of the crop rotation.
There is very little doubt in ou
mind that by proper co-operatio
between farmer, miller and bake
wheat production in Pennsylvania
can be put on a profitable basis.
