signing up was required to furnish an
estimate Of its possible milling capaci-

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 $2.28 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 t. o. b. Sikeston at $2.1002.
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 $2.18 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 1t was
a No. grade, we must deduct 3 cents
per bushel, which would bring the
price f. o. b. the elevator point to
So. OS02 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 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

the Grain Corporation was making a
large purchase for the Allies and was
utilizing It's knowledge of available
stocks by having on the Job a trans
portation strategist-Edward Cham
bers, vice president Of the Santa Fe.
Mr.. Chambers was assisting the Food
Administration and has a remarkable
"way with him." Even before he was
called to assist Mr.. McAdoo, the Direc-
tor General, his suggestions to the rail-
roads had O wonderful effect In dis
couraging their hesitancy as to finding
available cars and IN clearing up con-
gestions that looked as though they
never could be uncongested.
How Uncle Sam Keeps the Whip
Ease in getting the needed cars was
one of the advantages enjoyed by this
particular elevator after signing the
voluntary agreement which coded to
the Grain Corporation the right to con-
troll storage and direct shipments and
sales of all wheat bought by the pro-
prietor.
While voluntary, this agreement Is
almost compulsory since railroads give
priority recognition to Grain Corpora
ton requests for cars and elevators
or mills outside the official fold must
rustic" for themselves. In return the
Government guarantees the elevator
proprietor against losses and protects
him In every way as to price and pays
him rentals for all storage space reQul-
sitioned by it.
All elevators, local and terminal,
must take out licenses or face shut
down. What Is the power of the H.
cense? 1t requires the operator to lay
all cards on the table as to his busl-
ness dealings. For the time of the
war the elevator becomes public util-
lty and It's proprietor must furnish In
formation as TO his business at any
time when required by the Grain Cor
poration. Each week he must make
and mail reports showing the amount
of wheat, rye, or their derivatives, pur-
chased, stored, and shipped.
Under present license terms, the IL
censee can keep on hand for only ~
days, unless he obtains a special per-
nit, any stocks of these grains or
their derivatives. He is also forbid
den to contract for the sale of any
product which can not be delivered
within 80 days after the contract 10
made.
How the Wheat Was MlIIed.
Away went our bushel of wheat on
It's journey to the terminal, where 1t
met other bushels of wheat from all
parts of the territory that fed this
market There II was regarded for
special requirements. marked for i'm

bought the wheat from the Grain Cor
uoration, for each miller In the Unit
ed States is under license also, and
most of them have filed out another
voluntary agreement which binds them
either to purchase all supplies from
the Grain Corporation or under Its d.

Under these conditions the proprietor
would probably sell at st. Joseph or

The table further illustrates the

what extent the miller Is protected

the consumer are eliminated so far as
