met other bushels Of wheat from all
parts Of the territory that fed this
market. There 1t was regarded for
special requirements. marked for I'M

large mill in Illinois. The miller
bought the wheat from the Grain Cor

ed States Is under license also, ard
most of them have filled out another
voluntary agreement which binds them
either to purchase all supplies from
the Grain Corporation or under Its di'
rect supervision. The corporation
charges each miller per cent OF the
value Of the wheat he grinds to cover
! the costs of administering the cor
porations for the $5O,OOO,0OO capital Is
to be returned to the United Statea
Treasury, unlmpaired.
The agreement has Its compensa'
ton, however. for the policy of Uncle
Sam Is to provide each mill with Oh
wheat possible. To do 20, every mill

ton has and may exercise
the right to revoke the license Of the
jobber.
The other part Of this shipment con.
tained our second bushel Of wheat and
went over to the East Side into small
bakery, which quickly made It into
creamy loaves. These loaves were
placed in groceries and delicatessens
and the next day were eaten by hum
cry little boys and girls with dark
eyes and big noses and quaint ways.
Brings Out Startling Truths.
Government control has brought out
these startling truths:
More people unnecessarily make
their living out Of wheat distribution
than was suspected. Thousands and
thousands Of little spectators have
had to turn elsewhere for livelihood.
A number Of commission men have
had to close shop. There are places
where elevators should be built and
other places where there are too many
elevators. The Government, dominat.
ing the wheat market, carries its own
marine insurance. Wheat handlers az
terminals have had their activities re'
stricted.
But most Of all It Is interesting to
see how the price Of -four per barrel
tumbled from the time Uncle Sam took
a positive hand in the matter. Tho
Food Administration has recently com.
pleted an interesting chart on tho
prices Of wheat and bulk flour at Min
neapolis. In a statement Of Novem-
Der 20, the Food Administration says:
The farmer received for the 1915 har.
vest between $1.l5 and $3.50 per bushel
for the harvest, taking the country by
| large and .. Last year he received
under 20 per cent Of tho price Of the loaf:
| Today he is receiving over 40 per cent OF
| the money paid for the cash loaf. this
being the result Of the stabilization OF
| prices and the total elimination OF hoard.
Ing and speculation in this industry.
The statement reports that farmers
on November 26 we're receiving with
freight charges included from the ter
ritory represented to Minneapolis, ap'
proximately $3.50 for Az bushels Of
wheat. The price Of bulk flour Mt the
Minneapolis mill is about $1O.25 pei
barrel, showing that the miller Is now
receiving about IS cents per barrel
which must include both his operating
expenses and profit.

signing up was required to furnish an

ty for the season. This nationwide
survey Of milling capacities, when bal.
anced against the available supply OF
wheat. enables the Grain Corporation
to equalize supplies in a way never
done before. In fact, the schedule OF
prices arranged for the primary mar.

market. They also tend to correct
many abuses prevalent In the past,
such as cutthr0at methods adopted by
mills to secure supplies and indiscrimi-
nate moving of wheat to terminals,
For all practical purposes the wheat
business Of the country is apportioned,
and whenever possible mills are sup
piled from wheat in the territory near
est them. This policy has for an OBJ
ject the saving of waste in transpor-
tatiOn. In another way saving ID
made: Formerly large quantities OF
undergrade wheats have been difficult
to dispose of on account OF unco-ordl-
mated purchase of the competing mills;
but under Uncle Sans domination
each bushel OF wheat must now go
somewhere and the poorer wheat will
move Just as freely as the more de-
sirable grades.
Limiting Miiisrs' Profits.
| The Illinois miller who received the
carlot containing our bushel OF wheat
milled 1t promptly and shipped its flour
to a port for expectation. The miller
was permitted by the Food Admins
tration to make fair profit, not eX-
| ceeding q maximum of % cents per
| barrel on the -four and a maximum
profit Of 50 cents per ton on the feed
stuffs left over. All mills, however,
must furnish at regular intervals to
the Milling Division full statements OF
manufacturing costs, which are scru.
tinized carefully. The derivatives OF
this wheat the miller sold for domes'
tic consumption, as the policy OF the
Government Is to keep In the United
States all available feedstuffs in order
to encourage livestock production.
