The price on No. 1 grade wheat is

$197 t. o. b. cars. No. 3 wheat
$l.93 I. o. b. cars. Sample" grades
OF wheat such as No. 4 and No. 5
will be bought at prices fixed on the
grade by the grain corporation
agents at terminal primary market
points. W.
advise all growers and dealers
that when they have wheat ready to
load, those located in southern Idaho
should advise ]. E. MacAlpine, agent

ton at Pocatello, and those located
IN northern Idaho should advise. M.
II. Houser, second vice president
food administrator grain corporation
at Portland, Ore, when they will be
given instructions concerning the ter
m1nal points to which the grain is
to be billed and shipped.
At present the terminal point for |
southern Idaho grain shipment is
chicago, but it may be necessary to
change this terminal point any day
and consequently it would be we'll
in all cases to first get the proper
destination point from the grain cor
poration agents named before billing
wheat.
Both producers and dealers have
The right to bill cars of wheat direct
10 the food administration grain cor
poration at the terminal points
named. When the wheat is unloaded
1t. the elevators and wheat grades
'eturns are made to the food admin
stration grain corporation, remit
ance will be made on the. basis of
PRICES for grades so reported, and onJ
he basis of the government price
ess fper cent administration charge
or the service.
Advise all producers that the food .
suggests that they q
ell their wheat to dealers whenever i
hese dealers are paying a fair price.
county elevators and buyers are en- n
tiled to receive fair compensation &
or their service in the handling and a
of wheat and the charges I,
Or such services are necessarily a u
eduction from the terminal price of "
neat. This administration consid- "
RS Z cents to cents per bushel be- IL
wv government grade price as fair
1arge for such service. II
The farmer has the privilege of o.
tipping his own.wheat direct to the IL
rain corporation providing he is dis q
ltlsfied with the prices offered by p'
lie dealers. 1t is believed the farmer M
Ill prefer accepting cash from the u,
eVatOr man or dealer for his wheat pl
wagon load lots as delivered to 81
e elevator at reasonable differ
ice under the price named for the Ia
Veral grades, as fair compensa- 81 .,

consign his wheat direct to the ia

The government carries no insur- nt
ce on it's property. 1t does, how w
er, require that the elevator opera
rs shall exercise due diligence in
otecting grain stored in their
Irehouses from ordinary hazards.
vners of grain stored in warehouses
elevators should therefore, pro- en-
It their gran which has not been Gil
