FARMERS GET BAG ALLOWANCE.
Grain Corporation Comedies Western
Wheat Growers 3 Cents Bushel for
Sacking,

Farmers throughout the western
states will be allowed cents per
bushel or approximately 20 cents each
for bags On sacked wheat for the new
crop of 1918. it was announced Sat
urday by R. A. Levin, second vice
president of the grain corporation of
the United States food administration
and zone agent for California, Nevada
and Arizona. The new price amounts
o an increase of about II cents per bag
over allowances for the 1917 crop and
will assure the farmers an adequate
return on the price he has to pay for
new bags, it was said.
There has been agitation over the
high prices being asked for bags for
the new crop. 4 full investigation
was held last week in Washington be-
fore the war trade board. and the ev-
idence went TO show the present high
prices are due TO the high prices de-
manded for bags in Calcutta and not
to any speculation on the part of bag
men here
While no definite allowance is set
for barley, it is known that the value
of the second hand bags is added to
the bulk value of the barley and in
directly the farmer will get back just
about the same proportion of the cost
of his bags when he sells his barley.
Many farmers, it was said. do not real
ize this. but feel that they have 10
stand the entire expense of sacking
grain.
The assurance of the new price so
far as the grain corporation is con-
cerned, is contingent upon the fact
that the end of the war or other
causes might be such that the grain
corporation would not handle the
wheat crop this coming year, as it
has in the past, and the allowance of
3 cents bushel is based on the pres
ent bag market and would only be re-
vised if conditions radically changed.

PUTS FLOUR ON $3.50 BASIS

All exceptions TO the food ad-
ministration rule requiring the
purchase of an equal amount of
substitute with each purchase
of wheat flour were revoked
Thursday by the national food
, administrator because of the
necessity of conserving wheat
for the allies.
The entire country thus is
put on a parity in regard to
: buying of wheat flour. Ex-
ceptions to the rule had been
allowed in certain localities
where substitutes are little
known and hard to obtain.
Increased demands for bread
stuffs from the allies were an
nounced several days ago, when
the food administration abolish
ed the meatless meal and the
porkless Saturdays as the con-
sumption of wheat is closely re-
: lated to the consumption of
meat and it was deemed more
imperative to save the grain.
Shortage in arrivals from the
: Argentine caused the enlarged
: requests on this country.

LETTERS FROM POWER
COUNTY SOLDIERS.
France,
January %, 1918.

January 20, 1918.
Mr. o. H. Barber.
Dear Sir: A letter from you of
November 18th and one of December
8 and several numbers of the Press
have just reached me.
By some cause unknown our mail
has been delayed for some time and
this is the first word we have had from
the states, excepting a few stray let
ters, for sometime.
l was very glad to get both letters
and papers for news at best is none
too plentiful here.
To those who may be interested
can account for three of the four boys
you named from Power county who
are in France at the present-Skaggs.
Taylor and myself Harold McCaul-
ley is here also but have not seen or
heard from him.
Telling you of France, I hardly
know where to begin. Their mode of
doing things is so different from ours.
They are an easy going people and
seem to look at the war as matter
of course. They are very agreeable
to make things comfortable for US.
The thing that bothers us most is
that we can only guess at One-half OF
what they say and we don't under
stand the other half. But even at that
we get along very good.
The peasant people in many places
still use the oxen for farm work. which
seems very slow to US. They have a
village sheep tender or pig tender as
the case may be. who takes all the
sheep or pigs in the village out on the
hills to feed Each day regularly the
herder walks through the village
streets and blows a hOrn-a signal to
turn out the animals.
We have become quite accustomed
To their ways but it all seemed very
queer at first. There are very few
American ideas here among the French
people Once in a while We see an
American made gasoline engine or
perhaps hay rake but they are very
few.
Speaking of war. you perhaps get
more news than we. We are quite
used to the sound of cannon and the
sight of aerOplanes and the passing
of troops. however, but they were all
new 20 us once. L cannot tell you
what we are doing only say that we
are very busy-leave il 10 Uncle Sam
for that.
The weather is fine for the soldiers
for being out of doors. A big rain a
week or so ago took all our snow
away and it is quite warm and nice
outside.
l should like TO be able to tell you
more bur will have TO postpone it in
definitely Thanking you for the pa
per and best wishes to all my friends.
am sincerely,
