North Dakota pursues unusual state led activities and mills
The Nonpartisan League backed program runs four state tasks: insurance for public and crops, state mills and elevators, a state bank, and a home building association. Drake hosts a 125 barrel daily flour mill and Grand Forks is building a 3,000 barrel mill and 1.5 million bushel elevator. The plan includes credit to farmers, local bank redeposits, and eventual processing and distribution of farm products within the state. Public funds are shifting to depositories chosen by treasurers, while a state homebuilding scheme aims at affordable homes with long term payments. The system shows insurance for private buildings and a lower tax cost, with the broader goal of reducing middlemen and leveraging state resources.

Made Man Ter Wellman in a Local Comic Verse

Enormous Difference In Price From Producer To Consumer
A Kansas senator argues that a flawed national distribution system wastes food by moving it inefficiently across regions. He cites fruit rotting in New York and Michigan while midwest buyers face high prices, driven by transportation shortages and labor limits. The analysis reports the consumer’s dollar split among costs and notes margins vary by city, with farmers often losing while retailers and middlemen gain.
