War and Profits,

Every business man knows that the
owner of am commodity which is in
large demand and short supply has. IN
the absence of government regulation,
two practicable prizes alternatives. lie

the transaction, including. of course

In ordinary times the law of supply
and demand serves az sufticient
check on this range of free choice
with respect to most commodities.
But now that demands are generally
heavy upon short supplies, and sup
plies are more difficult to increase be-
cause of the war, the case is altered.

 DAGGETTS REPLY TO ADAMS
 I thank you very much for your kind letter of the 30th. ult., regard ing the flour mill and elevator in Marianna and assure you that the spirit in which the letter was writ ten is appreciated and that your advice in the matter will be thor oughly considered.
 As you indicate in your letter, beyond question of doubt, such ad- ventures on the part of local com munities have proven failures. The question with us is one of indeci- sion as to what is the best plan to follow. There is a certain element of our framers who are anxious to provide means for the handling or their wheat crop, and, naturally, the construction of a mill or an eleva- tor is their first thought, although any steps taken by them in the mar keting of their crop is more of an experiment than anything else. Per sonally, l was at first inclined to the erection of an elevator. and thought possibly a small mill might serve the purpose, but on investiga ton of the matter, 1 immediately reached the same conclusion indi- cated in your letter and turned to- wards the idea of getting CD 3 definate indication, at planting time, of the acreage to be in wheat dur ing the coming season, and CD then arrange with some responsible com pany to put a man in Lee county, tt marketing time, and have con- tract with this company to purchase the crop at market value. In order to do this, I suppose It would be necessary to ascertain the acreage to be planted, or rather, procure agreements from a numb r of farm CTS that they will individually plant a certain amount of wheat, and then contract with a responsible company to provide a market for it.
 If this plan is advisable, would appreciate it if you would advise us definately what amount of acreag

COMMERCIAL CLUB PLANNING VIGOROUS WHEAT CAMPAIGN
 (Continued from page 1.)

Another thing, we are attempting to furnish every one in Arkansas seed wheat at cost. Of course, we have to add the freight from the mill which you add Co the price of the wheat and also add the cost of cleaning the grain and we run every bushel of it over our seed wheat machine which is the same as used by the government and then you have to add the price of sacking and handling and with the price of burlap sacks S60 per thousand this is considerable. At the same time we have Az buyers scattered over Arkansas and thus are able to pick up quite a few selected strains of seed wheat and this wheat testing sixty pounds or better.At the first of the season we were able to sell at the mill seed wheat at $2.50 but the market has advanced very rap idly since the government put the
 minimum of $2.00 on wheat. But up to last week we were able to sell seed wheat at $2.75. At the present with our expenses added our seed wheat is costing us around S3.00 and we are offering this seed wheat to the trade at this price, for pure selected acclimated Arkan- sas raised two red wheat which we have thoroughly cleaned and put our seeder we are asking $2.90 in uni form new sacks. Of course, the price of seed wheat depends on the price we can secure it for but cer- tainly we have to pay premium for fancy seed wheat. We have just secured several cars of choice Red May smooth head seed wheat which natures earlier than any other kind of wheat. We are trying to accu- mulate some Fultz smooth head anl Fulcaster bearded seed wheat and also some Alabama Blue stem and some Marvellous seed wheat. We hope to accumulate enough seed wheat to supply all our friends in Arkansas but we anticipate a big
