CEREAL STORY-2.26

Speaking of glittering generalites, we rise 10 call the attention of our reader to the eIorbitant price that the farmer is getting for his wheat We refer to the price of s2.26 a bushei- which we understand has been in- creased to S2.35 in some parts of the country-"guarantee to the farmer" by an act of Congress.
 Having recently finished harvesting and marketing a little Jag of the aris- tccratic cereal, we present herewith some facts and figures which will show just how that s2.26 is guaran- teed to the farmer. We dragged 50 sacks of Early Baart wheat into town and sold them to local seed and feed company. Total weight was 6482 pounds from which the sum of 3S pounds was deducted for the weight of the sacks, leaving a net weight of 6444 pounds of wheat we raised as wheat
 POP GOES |. PER CENT A sample was taken and sent to the governme mt grain officials on the coast for grading. The report came back that the wheat contained seven per cent barley. If the government wants l our personal opinion on the matter,
 
 pair of glasses, because if there was as high as even one per cent barley in that field of wheat we'll eat it raw We think the Arizona Seed and Floral company will back US up in that proposition, because we bought the 1 seed from them. However, personal opinion of the grower doesn't count with the bird who is inspecting your 1 IXh nd 451 pounds-was deducted from the wheat and we got the barley price for l 1t, i. e. s2.13 hundred pounds, total ing s9.61 cents.
 Now then, the residue of the wheat will take the witness stand. Just tell your story in your own floury man ner," invites the attorney for the prosecution.
 1 Sister Wheat testified in part, as 1 follows:
 THE LADY'S STORY
 T was brought to Phoenix in a truck by a real nice man, I don't just recall his name, because when he would pick me up in his arms he didn't show no disposition to let me finger there; he lost no time in setting me down in his truck. Us country girls are rather healthy and it takes a real man to pick us up in his arms | but"
 Your honor" interrupts the attor- ney for the defense, i've object seri- ously to this kind of testimony as be- ing immaterial and irrelevant"
 Objection overruled," says the
 Court, but please hasten, will you Miss Wheat?'
 | Well as I was saving when he
 horned in on me, I was some healthy
 baby when I come to town that day; :. I'll tell the world I was. Fresh from the country and me a-weighing ex.
 actly 64S2 pounds. Well, sir, Gents they took me to a house on Soutf !; Fourth street and I guess the city atmosphere didn't agree with me, be-
 cause when I was weighed the figgers given out was 6444 pounds, instead oi
 e4S2 pounds.
 How do you account for the ap-
 parent loss in weight, Miss Wheat Q , asks her attorney.

should escape them.
 "Ah, now, Miss Wheat. that is a very delicate and important point, that matter of your weight dressed and er-er-undressed Please tell the jury all about that" urges her attorney.
 Well, it was this away. The man that brought me up comes to these men who bought me and buys me some swell togs. Now. Latest style in gunnysack cloth. Pays s7.50 for them clothes for me, puts me into them and sends me to town. And these very ducks that sold him the togs not only refuses to pay anything for them bur even takes off for the weight of them. Can you beat it, gents? And moreover. they yanks these togs off of me-been worn by me only a short while-and throws me into a big bin along with all sorts of chaff and seedy individu- als. Oh. it was turrblei-it was turrble! And me the daughter of :, family that's done a lot of war work and my father was a kernel in the field And her eyes filled.
 What became of your gunnysack ciothes?" asks her attorney
 What became of them? Why these seed store. men will take them back to the store and sell them again Get that gents. They sold them to my original owner for fl cents apiece They take them back with me in g few days and allow nothing for them and pretty soon they will sell them tc another farmer at a small knock down"
 COURT ADJOqRNs
  to adjourn and we will have to pull Miss Wheat off the stand To make the story short, we will say that fol 1 the 6444 pounds of wheat, we go 1 s21217. This averages s1.98 a bushel Yet the popular belief is that the ac | of congress guarantees" the farmel 1 s226 bushel The s1.9S that we ie. ceived is the alleged government price 1 less the freight to the nearest govern ment wheat terminal; less dockage fo the barley; less a "smalP' charge fo handling.
 The deductions for unclean whea and for freight to the terminal are 1 perhaps. legitimate. In this connec 1 tion, however, it would be interesting | to know how much of the wheat i 1 shipped to the terminal. and should l the freight to the terminal be deducted in the event that the wheat is fol home consumption.
 The upshot of it all is that the s2.2t a bushel for wheat is all right in print but when you get into the grain buy CTS hands it is another thing. Ou real quarrel with the grain buyer i: 1 this: where is the justice of making the grower pay for sacks and then no only refuse to pay him for them whel he brings them back full of wheat bu even to deduct for the weight 0 them.

with money and, selling an opportu-
nifty to enter the hold a few hours be-
fore the steamer Venezuela cast off.
she hid in a nook until the vessel was
out of sight of land and there was no
chance to set her OF shore again. She
then made her appearance, much be-
grimed, and proffered the captain the
money usually required for the pass
age across.
There was nothing to do but ac-
cept the money and the situation with
the best grace possible. Miss We'll
was given quarters with the wife of
the purser and the journey was an
agreeable one. The other passengers
lionized her for her nerve and origi-
nality and believe that she has the
distinction Of being the first society
girl stowaway In the history Of ocean
going vessels.
Miss Well will be the heroine at a
