by the commission, and 1t 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 It's way into
Georgia. where It was milled and its
flour finally reached 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 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
q reduction of 3 cents per bushel I'M
der the No. grade. But 1t graded
No. 2.
The elevator would also deduct an
additional 5 cents bushel to cover the
fixed charge made in this locality for
handling and selling. The Scent
charge included the commission of l
cent per bushel customary in 1917
among commission men for selling the
wheat to domestic millers or foreign
buyers.
The elevator man was none too sure
as to 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 up" the problem to the nearest
zone agent of the Grain Corporation.
So he wrote letter to the representa-.
tive stationed at 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 at
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 deductlng the freight to
that market and fair handling profit.
That is the price to be paid for wheat
at any station, regardless Of tho 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. IL
you cannot find the answer, write to

traffic expert will give you aid.

One fine fall afternoon, Col Bill
Jenkins, who farms somewhere in Mis-

and drove along the black road that
led across the prairie to town. When
he reached the cooperative elevator

pulled up on the scales, checked his
gross weights carefully, and began TO

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-The most dis
astrous season, from financial stand
point, in the history of Middle West
football will close tomorrow, with
chief interest centrng in the Michi-
gan-Ohio State contest at Columbus
and the intersectional tilt between the
University Of Pittsburgh and the
Cleveland Naval Reserves at Cleveland.
With the usual spirit of enthusiasm
sadly lacking because of the inferior
grade Of football offered in the West.
the great wind-up finds the defeated
Minnesota team facing the pommelled
Chicago eleven at Chicago and Iowa
meeting Camp Dodge at Des Moines.
The undefeated Great Lakes Naval
Training Station team, which tri-
umphed over Annapolis, will measure
strength with Purdue at Great Lakes.
Although Illinois claims the West
ern Conference championship, by Writ
ue of victories over Iowa State, Wis
consin and Chicago, Michigan has en-
tered a counter claim and must de-
feat Ohio State tomorrow to keep its
slate clean. The Wolverines, however,
