ut New York City was $2.2S per bush
el. Here is how he went about It:
The freight rate from Sikeston to
New York being 1898 cents per bush
ell, he deducted that from $2.2S per
bushel and found the price at Sikeston
to be $2.1102. From this he deducted
1 per cent per bushel for the commits
sion firms charges, which put the net
price (. o. b. Sikeston at $2.1002.
He next compared this price with
what he could get If 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 Q cents per bush
ell. This would make the Sikcston
price $2.12, less / cent per bushel for
selling charges, or $2.11 net The st.
Louis price would therefore govern,
being advantageous to the Sikeston
seller.
II our imaginary 2 bushels Of wheat
had started from SikestOn, since 1t was
a No. 2 grade. we must deduct 3 cents
per bushel, which would bring the
price (. o. b. the elevator point TO
s.. O802 per bushel. AS our imaginary
elevator man is charging 5 cents per
bushel for handling, which includes
the commission fee Just mentioned, we
deduct an additional cents to arrive
at the price the farmer received. This
price would be $2.0402 at the elevator.
Some of that 4 cents will return to our
farmer II the elevator prospers; for 1t

ing was taking place. Uncle Sam
had started ON this remarkable ex-
pertinent; he was going to see wheth-
er wheat could be marketed minus
rake-offs to the SPECTATORS. This
neeessitated complete control by the
Government Of storage facilities, trans
poriation 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

marketing American wheat. A single

This work is q necessary arm of the

Government to do business quickly

681. OOO. 900 bushels Of wheat and the
IO,0OO,OO0 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

as easily as No. / Northern. 1t must
also work out satisfactorily the local

In the early days. following the de-
termination Of prices for 1917 wheat

The wheat-producing regions. This was
intensified BY the Inauguration OF the
new grain grades, a. promulgated oy
The Department Of Agriculture, which
took place about the same time. and

by the commission, and Il must do lie

But 10 return to our farmer and his
expectations Of price.
introducing Two Bushels Of Wheat
Lying side by side In his wagon had
been 2 bushels of wheat that fate had
marked for strangely different ends.
They were very much alike, those
bushels Of wheat, and to look ut them
you would not have suspected the
strange and wonderful adventures In
store for them. Yet one was destined
10 travel abroad for consumption In
France; the other TO find Its way into
Georgia. where II 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 un'
folded the international panorama OF
wheat marketing In time OF war.
Finding a Price at a Country Point.
High wal 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
n reduction Of 3 cents per bushel I'M
der the No. ] grade. But II graded
No. ..
The elevator would also deduct IN
additional 5 cents bushcl TO cover the
fixed charge made in this locality for
handling and selling. The 5-cent
charge included the commission Of l
cent per bushel customary in 1911
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 10 only one price for wheat at
a country point. That price Is always
to be arrived at by taking as a basis
tn. price at the most advantageous
primary market where we have fixed
a price and dedueting the freight to
that market and a fair handling profit.
That 10 the price to be paid for wheat
at any station, regardless Of the point
to which II may be shipped.
Working out the price which should
be paid for wheat at your station is
u fine occupation for an of day. II
you cannot find the answer, write TO
the Food Administration Grain Cor
poration In New York City and Its
traffic expert will give you aid.

and drove along the black road that
lid across the prairie to town. When
he reached the cooperative elevator
of which he was a stakeholder. he
pulled up on the scales, checked his
gross weights carefully, and began TO

asked:
when you want to sell this wheat?"

times about as good as another
these days. IT won't weigh any more
later" he added, with dry smile.

I'll use no drug with a German name
That's grown on German land;
I'll eat no food and drink no beer
If made by German hand.

That lives by German law.

Where German songs are sung;

No more I'll hang on Christmas trees
Those blood-stained German toys.

Why did you bolt and quit your dad
Why did you beat it off to town
And turn your poor old daddy down?
Thinkers of platform, pulpit, press,

They seek to know the hidden cause
Why farmer boys desert their paws.

Of faster life and social waste;
Some say you silly little chunips
Mistake your suite cards for your

Against the smoky thorouglifare,
