at New York City was $22S per bush
ell. Here is how he went about it:
The freight rate from Sikeston TO
New York being 1858 cents per bush
Ell, he deducted that from $2.2S per
bushel and found the price at SikeStnn
to be s.. 1O2. From this he deducted
l per cent per bushel for the commits
sion firms charges which put the net
price f. O. b. Sikeston at 50. 1OO2.
He next compared this price with
what he could get if he sold at St.
Louis. his nearest primary market. At
St. Louis che basic price is S21S per
bushel, and the freight rate from
Sikeston to St. Louis 6 cents per BUSH
ell. This would make the Sikeston
price $2.12, less l cent per bushel for
selling charges, or $2.11 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 it was
No. grade, we must deduct cents
per bushel, which would bring the

$2O802 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 $2O402 at the elevator.
Some Of that cents will return to our
farmer if the elevator prospers; for it
is owned comparatively.

Uncle Sam is now trans
lating into the pockets of both produc-
ers and consumers benefits derived by
the Nation. He has shut off specula-
ton, produced a free market and
movement of all grades of wheat, cut
expenses and induced a normal flow of
wheat in natural directions, and ef-
fected thousand other economies.
The Food Administration Grain Cor
poration, which supervises the sale, or
itself buys every bushel of wheat pro-
duced in the Nation in its progress
from country elevator to foreign buy
ers or domestic consumers, marks
new step toward national efficiency.
How in four short months it has been
done is told in the following episodes
wherein two bushels of wheat Travelled
to market
One fine fall afternoon, Col. Bill
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
OF which he was a stakeholder, he
pulled up on the scales, checked his
gross weights carefully, and began TO
unload. The manager came out and
asked:
when you want to sell this wheat?'
Il dunno" he answered. Zone
times about as good as another
these days. IT won't weigh any more
later" he added, with a dry smile.
Wheat shrinks lot admitted the
manager. II hear the Government
wants as much wheat as it can get
just now-understand the Allies do
eat terrible lot of it since the war;"
whats wheat to-day?" asked COL
jenkins, getting interested.
"Well, 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-
tor man, good-naturedly. 1.-THE Food
Administration is not to blame. Con-
gress passed the act and told the De-
partment of Agriculture to fix the
grades. They became effective last
July. sent out letter on it,
"Well, l guess you better sell for
the best you can," said the farmer.
Il am needed at home" And he drove
away.

eminent formed to buy grain or super
wise it's sale at the prices determined
by the commission, and It must do its
work on the basis Of the new grades.
But to return to our farmer and his
expectations of price.
Introducing Two Bushels IF Wheat.
Lying side by side in his wagon had
been bushels of wheat that fate had
marked for strangely different ends.
They were very much alike, those
bushels of wheat, and to look at then
you would not have suspected the
strange and wonderful adventures in
store for them. Yet one was destined
to travel abroad for consumption in
France; the other to find it's way into
Georgia, where it was milled and it's
-four 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 Price at Country Point.
High war 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
a reduction of 3 cents per bushel un-
der the No. l grade. But 1t graded
No. 2.
The elevator would also deduct an
additional cents a bushel 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 1917
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 is only one price for wheat at
a country point. That price is always
to be arrived at by taking as basis
the price at the most advantageous
primary market where we have fixed
a price and deducting the freight tc
that market and fair handling profit
That is the price to be paid for wheat
at any station, regardless Of the point
tc which it may be shipped.
Working out the price which should
be paid for wheat at your station is
a fine occupation for an off day. If
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.
