ORDER RELEASES MUCK WHEAT NOW IN STORAGE
Dillon 4 With the receipt of instructions that the permit system during the war for grain shipments had been suspended and that heat might be stored. Miller s of the valley will find immense crop now stored in elevators and warehouses. During the past months the sands of tussels of fradtelane milling mice have been stored awaiting removal of restrictions that have delayed marketing of the crop. The release will benefit all lines of business in this city as ranchers were practically without cash in many cases due to marketing delays. Practically all wheat waiting to be shipped has been sold with payment held until shipment. Restrictions on other grain classes not yet advised but expected to apply to wheat soon. Very little of the enormous oat crop has been contracted for yet with little demand for rye and barley in this section.
