Show nno condition; Millard county, dry-crop dry-crop nearly a total failure ; Tooele county, about 50 per cent normal crop; southern Idaho, dry farm crops burned up. In summing up the reports from all sections President Blood said that it appeared there would be sufficient wheat TOwn in the state to supply the demands from all the mills of the state and yet leave enough for export. He said the crop was sufficient, eo that the millers of the state need make no scramble for wheat nor pay any premiums pre-miums above the government price. During the meeting, M. H. Greene, local manager of. the United States Grain corporation, gave a brief talk ou p-overnment regulations. J. J. Neville addressed the members on "ftoh Flour in the Outside Markets," and M..H. Ellison, manager of the Lay-ton Lay-ton Mill and Elevator company, talked on "Local Markets." Following the session a luncheon was held for the members at the club. They left during the afternoon for Saltair, where a banquet was served in the evening at the Ship cafe. WHEAT HARVEST WILL SATISFUOGIL NEED So Utah-Idaho Millers As-sert, As-sert, in Spite of Frosts and Droughts. In spite of the fact that June frosts and Bummer droughts have made tremendous tre-mendous inroads on the wheat crops of Utah and southern Idaho, enough grain will be harvested to supply the needs of tho two states and make possible the exportation of a large quantity. This was the opinion expressed generally gener-ally at the opening meeting of the Utah-Idaho Millers and Grain Dealers' association during their convention which opened yesterday morning at tho Commercial club. President Henry II. Blood of Kaysville presided at the opening session. During the morning meeting reports on crop conditions, quantity and quality qual-ity of wheat were given by representatives represen-tatives from all parts of the inter-mountain inter-mountain country. The reports tended to show that dry laud crops in nearly all wheat sections of the country have been reduced to loss than one-fourth of the expected yield, and the quality of the gram in most cases will be below the average. This will necessitate the use of more wheat per barrel of flour than has been the case in past years, according to those who have made examinations of this year's crop. In irrigated wheat sections the drought has also had its bad effects, according to the reports, cutting down the size of the crop to some extent, but in most cases the wheat is up to the standard and should mature from 60 to 70 per cent of the standard crop. The reports show that the best crop conditions exist in the Delta and Hinckley territories in Millard county, where the crops arc expected lo be better than normal and the wheat of better quality than raised there before. Blue creek, in western Boxeldcr county, where from 60 to SO per cent of thV normal crop is anticipated, : exhibits the best signs of all the dry i rarra wheat crops, the reports show. I The grain in this section is also of good 1 quality. This petition is the only one hero better than 50 per cent of i normal crops are expected. Juno frosts and drought cri pplcd tho crop near Xephi and Levan ridge more i than any other section. The late frosts destroyed half of the crop; and. I followed by the drought, it is expected i that many of the large farms will have I no wheat to harvest. The flour mills of 'this sect ion expect to ship in wheat j trom out side districts.
