‘GRAIN EXCHANGE Jt FLOUR WILL SffijMEL’ Purdue Director Urges State Farmers to Revive Old System. The revival of the old system of exchanging wheat for flour will save farmers of the State about $3 per barrel on their flour at present prices, according to Director Q. I. Christie of Purdue University, who spoke at the annual meeting' of 'he Indiana Millers’ Association at the Board of Trade this afternoon. “Indiana mills permit farmers to deliver their wheat and to draw the flour in any amount in exchange," Christie said. “Most mills have established the basis of 36 pounds of flour for a bushel of wheat. The market price of wheat and of flour do not figure in the transaction." The speaker expressed himself as opposed to a reduction of wheat acreage to boost prices. “If the farmers of the State hope to succeed in their campaign to ‘keep Indiana wheat In Indiana’ they will have to raise Mickikoff, the variety which experiments have found to be the most satisfactory,” Carl W. Sims, if Frankfort, declared. millers, however, opposed wR Introduction of hard wheat. Indiana has a reputation for soft wheat, they said, and would lose this distinction with Increased acreage of hard grain.

PURDUE WILLING TO EXPERIMENT WITHTELEPHONES University Head Addresses Utility Men in Annual Meeting. “All big business has got to learn to fit Itself In small places, and small places must adapt themselves to big business,” asserted Dr. Edward C. EUiott today before the delegates attending the fourth annual convention of the Indiana Telephone Association at the Claypool. Elliott urged the telephone companies of the State to take an active interest In Purdue University, of which he is president. “In any five years Purdue has been operating it has brought more wealth to the State of Indiana than the university co6t,” said Elliott. “Farmers of Indiana firmly believe In the university and Its school of agriculture.” “I’ve been told that the telephone Industry Is needing trained workers. I understand you are taking on men who lack training because of the demand." Purdue University would be willing, he said, to establish a telephone experimental exchange at the school to work out scientific problems and Improve the telephone Industry, but lack of funds prevent it.
