NEW REGULATIONS FOR
HANDLING WHEAT CROP

bulletin just issued by the mill
ing division OF the government food
administration, of which S. b. Nc
Near is chairman OF the South Pacific
Coast division, makes some changes
in the method OF handling the new
wheat crop. The new regulations are
contained in the following bulletin.
which is signed by McNear:
The food administration grain cor
poration advises that the following
changes in handling the new wheat
crop shall apply:
Marketing remains just as at pres
ent with the following exceptions: Cd
Allowance of nine cents per bushel
for sacks; (2) eliminate deduction OF
the graduated securing charge for
! smutty wheat; (3) eliminate all ter
minal charges (weighing, switching,
/ etc. The value of any lot of wheat
, Is liked al point of shipments by de-
iuc sHg the freight only, from point
( Ql shipmeat to the most advantageous
| terminal market, from the terminal
price established by the grade certif-
icate. The mill buying the wheat pays
the freight from point of shipment to
the mill. This is intended to create
absolute uniformity in prices paid.
Mills must be careful to pay at
least one cent bushel less when
they buy direct from farmers, so as
to protect dealers commissions, and
every purchase must be based-as to
price paid--on an accurate sample
graded by the federal inspector; and
when received at terminal on both
inspection grade by the federal in
spector.
These changes apply only on new
crop purchases"
