ing was taking place. Uncle Sam
had started on this remarkable ex-
pertinent; he was going to see wheth-
err wheat could be marketed minus
rake-offs to the spectators. This
necessitated complete control by the
Government Of storage facilities, trans
portation and distributive agencies,
and the marketing machinery for
wheat and rye.
Everybody was troubled; most Of
all, the officials Of the Food Admins
tration Grain Corporation who had
undertaken, without salary, and at the
sacrifice of their personal connection
with the grain trade, to whip into
shape the forces that would drive for.
ward the big business machine for
marketing American wheat. A single
control; and a $50,0O0,0O0 nonprofit.
making corporation to do the work.
This work Is necessary arm of the
Food Administration, allowing 1he
Government TO do business quickly
and without red tape. Its stock Is held
in trust by the President of the Unit
ed States. For the time of the war II
will supervise the rate or purchase
the part commercially available of the
660,O00,000 bushels of wheat and the
100000 surplus of rye grown In
America In 1917. Its Job Is to find a
market for every bushel, irrespective
Of class and grade. Under its patron
age, wheat screenings are moving just
as easily as No. / Northern. II must
also work out satisfactorily the local
prices for wheat at each Of almost
10000 country elevator points, adjust
thousands Of complaints, organize the
gathering and analysis of date, inspect
concerns reported as dealing unfairly
solve vexatious disagreements among
the trade, and deal effectively with the
allies purchasing agent and the neu'
trails who may desire to purchase.
In the early days, following the de-
termination of prices for 1917 wheat
by the Presidents Fair Price Commits
sion, confusion existed In every part OF
the wheat.produclng regions. This was
intensified by the inauguration OF the
new grain grades, as promulgated by
the Department Of Agriculture, which
took place about the same time, anc
led to diverse complaints and feel
ing among farmers that the Grain Cor
poration Of the Food Administration
was responsible for both the price a.
determined and stricter observance D
grain grades. But the corporation wa,
responsible for neither act. II is pure

at New York City was S2.2S per BUSH
Ell. Here Is how he went about 1t:
The freight rate from Sikeston to
New York being 1898 cents per BUSH
Ell, he deducted that from $22s per
bushel and found the price at Sikeston
to be $2.1102. From this he deducted
per cent per bushel for the commits
sion firms charges, which put the net
price (. o. b. Slkeston at S2.1OO2.
He next compared this price with
what he could get II he sold at st.
Louis, his nearest primary market. At
st. Louis the basic price Is $2.1S per
bushel, and the freight rate from
Sikeston to st. Louis 6 cents per BUSH
ell. This would make the Sikeston
price S212, less / cent per bushel for
selling charges, or S2.11 net. The st.
Louis price would therefore govern,
being advantageous to the Sikeston
seller.
If our imaginary 2 bushels of wheat
had started from Sikeston, since 1t was
No. grade, we must deduct 3 cents
per bushel, which would bring the
price (. o. b. the elevator point to
$20S02 per bushel. As our imaginary
elevator man Is charging cents per
bushel for handling, which includes
the commission fee just mentioned, we
deduct an additional 4 cents to arrive
at the price the farmer received. This
price would be $2.0402 at the elevator.
Some of that cents will return to our
farmer II the elevator prospers; for 1t
is owned comparatively.
When Farmer and Elevator Man Dis
agree.
Had this elevator been owned by pri-
vate firm or person, or had II been

have been so bland and trustful.
He might have refused to sell at all
and arranged to store his wheat or he
might have taken II over to COM

has not yet attempted to regulate the
prices paid farmers for wheat at coun.

wherein tw. bushels of wheat Travelled
to market
One fine fab afternoon, Col. BIZ
jenkins, who farms somewhere in Mis-
souri,, loaded his wheat into a wagon
and drove along the black road that
led across the prairie TO town. When
he reached the cooperative elevator
or which he was a stakeholder. he
pulled up on the scales, checked his
gross weights carefully, and began 70
unload. The manager came oct and
asked
"When you want to sell this wheat?"
II dunno" he answered. "One
times about as good as another
these days. IT won't weigh any more
later" he added, with dry smile.
wheat shrinks lot" admitted the
manager. IL hear the Government
wants as much wheat as 1t can get
just northumberland the Allies do
eat a terrible lot of 1t since the war;"
Whats wheat to-day?" asked Col.
jenkins, getting interested.
swell, let me see," parleyed the
manager. II guess this wheat'd be a
good No. 2 under the new grades"
Grades? What about grades? That
Food Administration seems to mix into
mighty nigh everything from rabbits
to axle grease"
Hold on, Colonel" said the eleva.
