will obtain the full price.

Will obtain the full price.
To clean the wheat, to produce the
product stipulated, he must call to his
assistance plants constructed for this
purpose. If the farmer elects to have
his wheat cleaned at Kansas City,
Omaha or Chicago, the grain corpora
tion will take charge Of it and account
to the farmer for the full price l.ss
dockage.
Should the farmer, elect, however, TO
deliver his wheat to the nearest ele.
vator, which is the usual procedure, this
dockage is supplemented by a cleaning
charge which the elevator must obtain
to pay it for handling, treatment, in
terest and other charges, such as are a
necessary part of the business.
The grain corporation has suggested
this charge as between and cents
per bushel, but it did not make an abb
solute rule on account of the varying
conditions of cost at the various e,e-
vators.
The actual prices which have been
paid to farmers by the elevators and
the mills receiving the wheat have va
ried, but on an average of $l.92 to
$l.96 per bushel.
But the public is not interested from
the standpoint of consumer in the price
of wheat. 1t is the price of flour which
interests it.
The price Of flour varies at different
points and is based on the price of the
wheat at the same point and is made
up from the price of the wheat plus the
milling charge allowed by the corpora
tion and is thus the same at every
place in the country.
Therefore, if the farmer in Colorado
receives $1.92 for his wheat, the con
sumer will pay less price for flour ir
Colorado than the consumer in Chicago
or Kansas City or Omaha, where the
price paid for wheat is respectively
1926 and $2.1S per bushel.
In spite of careful inquiry and in
VestiSation the cases 0. p"ofiteering by
the millers have been few and far he
tween, and in nearly every instance
have been based not on intention but
on Ignorance and have been cases which
occurred in small mills in the rural dis
tricts.
There has been no business more caro-

that of wheat milling by the United
States Food administration.

THE PRICE OF WHEAT

In the Colorado Bulletin of the State
Food administration, for September,
Food Administrator Stearns Ia> tho fol-
lowing timely article regarding the
price of wheat:
Recent publicity regarding the price
of wheat being paid the farmers of
Colorado appears to be creating con-
fusion which is unnecessary.
The president of the United States,
through fair price commission ar-
lcinted by him. fixed the price of
wheat at 1920 per bushel for the 1917
crop. The act of congress of Aug. 10,
1917, guaranteed a minimum price of
81 per bushel for the No. | grades of
wheat at the principal interior primary
markets, and not, as supposed in some
qaurters, at all shipping stations in the
United States.
Under the same act the president
had conferred on him the right to fix
rules governing this guarantee. In his
latest proclamation on the subject he
not only continued the 1920 price as
fixed by his fair price committee, but
fixed the price at 1926 at Chicago in
order that this So guarantee might
reach west as far as possible. Even
this leaves the whole of western Colo.
rado in situation in which the govern
ment voluntarily absorbs differences in
freight charges to the primary markets
amounting to from 10 to Is cents per
bushel in some cases in order to make
the So guarantee good f. o. b. outgoing
car at shipping points in that territory
The president created the United
States Grain corporation and intrusted
them with the handling of this matter
The grain corporation fixed the re
ceiving points at which the wheat
would be purchased. There are eight
cen of these so-called receiving points
and those which receive the wheat from
Colorado are located at Kansas City
Omaha and Chicago.
The prices fixed by the grain corpora
tion are: At Chicago, $2.26; at Kansa
City and Omaha. $2.ls. The price pro
mulgated by the grain region is ~, tn
difference being made up by the freigh
or cost of transportation.

existing, he will receive the full pric'

Hoover said. "This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
