The Food Supply Problem

Given a free hand to deal with the
problem Of food supply for this coun-
try and its allies, the established bust
ness machinery Of trade will solve IT.
II has patriotism fully equal to that OF
any functionary in the government en-
ploy. Il will not fail to respond, 10y
ally and faithfully, to the responsible
ity placed upon it, provided 1t is per-
mitted to do so. and provided the
modus operandi whereby it shall sofve
the problem is not dictated by ANA
teurs and food theorists. Instead OF
placing this responsibility upon those
cspable of performing the task ana
trained in the daily practical solution
Of such problems, government interier-
cnce is invoked; there is talk OF NIX
ing the price of wheat by edict' oil
having the government finance all pur..
chases of it, of debating the quality OF
the -four produced by the mills ana
making it uniform; even OF enforcing
the zone" system Of transportation:
All these fallacies are the output OF
the academic and theoretical cogita-
tions of amateurs, and all are based on
the assumption that unless something
Of the sort is done the mythical "food
barons.r the "pirates and buccaneers
in the food trade" the "multl-mliilon..
aires" who "revel in the proceeds OF
illegitimate gains from the tables OF
the people," will grab all the 1000 sup
niles in sight ard manipulate them 20
their own selfish advantage. - ne

Wheat.-If the wheat market ever
passed through more exciting ses-
sion than that Of yesterday it is not
recorded in the history of the trade.
The action taken by the directors Of
the Chicago Board of Trade Friday
night suppressing further operations
IN May contracts owing TO the unpre-
cedented advance of the past few
weeks was expected to help clarity the
atmosphere and bring about some re-
lief TO an overstrained situation.
AT the outset the market was fever
ish, with a decline of about cents
bushel from the final of Friday.
From this point there was perpen-
dicular advance of % TO 81 cents, and
at the close values were 25 to % cents
above the previous closing levels. The
trade was simply demoralized by the
days developments and operators
were completely bewildered. There
appeared TO be only one explanation,
which was that America has sold more
wheat to Europe than she can deliver
When foreign buyers found the Nav
contract closed to further operations
and that contracts would have TO be
evened up on a basis of S3.l8 a
bushel. decided upon by the Board Of
Trade. they turned their attention to
the new crop months and bought
heavily. Shorts who had considered
the new crop positions too high in
view of the approaching new crop sea
son were forced 10 cover and found
little wheat for sale. The cash posi-

to conditions in the grain market
Offerings were light during the ear
lier stages of the advance, but IN
creased on n scale up, and the close
showed reactions of several points
under realizing sales. Final transac-
tions showed net gains of to II points.
Reports from New Orleans said that
$500 bales had been sold in the spot
market there for export, and some trad
ers were inclined TO connect reports
Of an increased export business with
the more optimistic view of the sub
marine menace. At the same time al
advance was reported in marine war
risks to Havre. Weather conditions
were considered generally satisfactory
Complaints continue to reach the trade
based upon the low temperatures, but
the details showed warmer weather
generally over the belt, with light rains
in numerous sections. These advices
probably helped to check the advance,
during the middle of the morning, and
promoted scattered selling on the re-
action.

surveys made by the farm management
department of the Nebraska Agricultu-

as all other expenses combined. Oper-
ating expenses are about the same on
all farms, with the exception of the ex-
tremely large or extremely small farms,
regardless of whether or not they are

This is evidence that it is impossible

Heavier Loading of Cars

One very important but seldom
thought of means of aiding the reliet
of freight congestion, to which snip
pers might well give serious attention.
is the heavier loading of freight cars
The twelve shipping companies OF the
United States Steel Corporation during
1916 loaded their cars to within 10
per cent of their average rated ca
pacity. This was load per car OF
only 1900 pounds more than in the
previous year, and yet on the total ton
mage moved there was effected an
actual saving Of 37,2O2 cars, as COM
pared with the loading requirements
for the previous year This means
that 37,202 cars were available for
other traffic purposes without in any
way decreasing the service OF the steer
company. This matter could we'll be
given serious consideration by smaller
shippers than the Steel Corporation,
and il is obvious that it is to the mu-
tual advantage of all shippers and con-
signees that cars should be loaded to
capacity. The ramihcations os this
problem are too complex to reduce TO
figures, but are interesting to contem-
plate, such for instance as the less
number of cars to be handled over the
line and at terminals by the railroads,
the saving to the railroads on this &C
count, together with the savings in
hauling the excess loads due to under
loaded equipment. A keen analyst
might trace this directly to the profit
and-loss sheet, and it is not at all i'm
possible that the railroad revenues
could be so increased by this action on
the part of shippers that the roads
would be relieved from the necessity
of asking for higher freight rates.
