Praise for Jasper County Weat and Local Mill.
Ralph Sprague, proprietor of the Iroquois mill, was in Chicago recently with samples of flour milled from the 1915 crpp of wheat purchased from local farmers. Mr. Sprague was much pleased and all Jasper connty and Rensselaer should riiare in the pleasure, at being told by the brokers on whom he called that they were simply amlazed at the quality and perfect milling of the samples. They said the test of his pour was so high in gluten properties that they would advise him milling and holding all flour of this-grade for future orders, as at the present time Chicago and its drawing territory were in the market for a lower grade of wheat flour only. This condition is usual in the early part *of each milling season. Jasper courity, especially the housewives and farmers, should be very proud of this splendid Showing of the Iroquois Mill. Mr. Sprague, as we have informed readers before, has a mill that contains the nfost modem machinery, none better in the country. Jasper county is raising the wheat. Here is certainly every reason for co-opera-tion between farmers and the mill in this city. Mr. Sprague has received some splendid wheat, having offered to pay a premium for grain that met his requirements. He has advertised to give you more flour for your wheat than you ever had before and guarantees the flour satisfactory or pay for your wheat at the market price the day you brought it in. Certainly Ralph Sprague and his mill deserve the undivided support of every citizen of Jasper county.
