Iy an administrative arm of the Gov.
eminent formed to buy grain or SUPER
wise its sale at the prices determined
by the commission, and it must do its
work on the basis of the new grades.
But to return to our farmer and his
expectations of price.
introducing Two Bushels of Wheat.
Lying side by side in his wagon had
been bushels of wheat that fate had
marked for strangely different ends.
They were very much alike, those
bushels OF wheat, and to look at them
you would not have suspected the
strange and wonderful adventures in
store for them. Yet one was destined
to travel abroad for consumption in
France; the other to find its way into
Georgia, where it was milled and Its
flour finally reached a New York
baker on the East Side. But in the
sum of the travels made by the two,
as we shall follow them, will be I'M
folded the international panorama OF
wheat marketing in time Of war.
Finding a Price at Country Point.
High war costs Of production gave
our Missouri farmer much concern as
to his returns and accounted for his
depression over the prospects of his
wheat grading down" for that meant
reduction of cents per bushel I'M
der the No. l grade. But it graded
No 9.
The elevator would also deduct en-
additional cents a bushel TO cover the
fixed charge made in this locality for
handling and selling. The 5-cent
charge included the commission of l
cent per bushel customary in 1917
among commission men for selling the
wheat to domestic milers or foreign
buyers.
The elevator man was none too sure
as 10 how to get at the price which
this wheat should bring He knew
considerably more about human nature
than freight rates and decided to
"check mp" the problem to the nearest
zone agent of the Grain Corporation.
So lie wrote a letter to the representa-
tive stationed ut st. Louis That let
ter was referred to the traffic expert
in the New York Office, who transmit
ted the following rule for determining
the price Of wheat at any country
point:
There Is only one price for wheat al
country point. That price Is always
to be arrived at by taking as basis
the price at the most advantageous
primary market where we have fixed
a price and deducting the freight TO
that market and fair handling profit.
That is the price to be paid for wheat
at any station, regardless Of the point
to which it may be shipped.
Working out the price which should
be paid for wheat at your station is
a fine occupation for an Off day. If
you cannot find the answer, write TO
the Food Administration Grain Cor
poratlon In New York City and its
traffic expert will give you aid.
