1t has been found that consumers OF
the country are not lenefited apprc
ciably by market glut or excess Of
products, and that under the present
system OF distribution an unusuallv
large crop brings a drop in price TO
producers without equal benefit to
consumers.

apparently the situation is aggra-

cities for redistribution TO manv smaller

served more economically were its
regions Of production. At this point
the work in market surveys merges
with the work to be undertaken I'm

THE distributing methods used in
large cities are being investigated. and
studies are being made of the current

commodities have been reported to the
Office of Markets and Rural Organi-

Canadian wheat crop this year was
about $4,000 900 bushels. OF this great
quantity Canada will need only about
$50, 100000 bushels, which leaves more
than half of the entire crop. or 200, ,0O0. 900
bushels, for sale and shipment to out
side countries
But now that the government has
seized 20, 600. 900 bushels and may take
more. the Canadian farmers who raised
all this wheat will lose a lot OF money
won't they?" said Jimmy.
Uncle Harry. THE farmers will lose
Canadian government a fair price for
all wheat that was taken, and they will
be paid for all grain that may be
seized in the future. The important
point Is this: England-and that means
the British Empire, of which Canada Is
n part-must have plenty of food for
her own soldiers, the soldiers of France
and Italy. and the people who live in
those countries. Starving armies cant
win battles. and starving people cam t
work in factories and supply ammuni-
ton and clothing for the soldiers. The
English government officials knew. OF
course, OF the need for wheat in their
own country as we'll as I'm France and
Italy. and so they sent word to the
Canadian government that 5000 900
bushels of wheat were needed now,
and that maybe more would be needed
later. So the Canadian officials sim
ply took charge. of the big grain
elevators in and around Winnipeg

Russia raises a big enough cror
OF wheat for herself, and she would
nave some to spare for England

ped out OF Russia" said Uncle Harry
But the wheat fields are in the south .
ern part OF Russia and the Turks still
hold ConstantinoDle and the waters
that lead to the Black Sea. 1t would
be almost impossible to transport the
wheat from the southern part Of the
empire to the northern part or the far
eastern part and even after the wheat
reached these points it would be i'm
possible to send II in ships to Eng
land. France. and Italy until next
spring. because all the Russian
ports on the Arctic ocean are frozer

slas northern sea coast is up near
the Arctic circle. Look in yo,,r

Have any other food supplies been
seized since the war began" asked Joe.
Yes. indeed said Uncle Harry.
bout year ago England seized the
meat supplies of Australia and New
Zealand. both of which are British pos
sessions. and the German government
has also seized great quantities Of meat
and wheat and other foods. In war a
country's army Is only as strong as its
food supply. II a nations food suDplv
