Feed Wheat ALLEGATIONS :
More efficient and equitable
distribution of feed wheat is ex-
pected through the WAS alloca-
ton plan under which regional
offices of CCC will supply feed
wheat ALLEGATION certificates to
eligible purchasers of feed wheat
on the basis of volume of 1915
sales and relative feed require
ments and supplies available in
the purchasers area.
Through the certificates, direct
purchases may be made from the
corporation or from approved
warehousesmen to whom it will
furnish feed wheat. It will be
sold through grain distributors to
car lot purchasers at the estab-
lished county prices without the
addition of any merchandising
charges which will be made pos
sible by allowance of stipulated
merchandising fees to distributors
by CCC. To offset expense of
fees, the price of feed wheat will
be increased cent per bushel on
all sales and shipments made
on or after March 1, until further
notice. This charge is expected
to result in greater participation
of the grain trade in the distribu-
ton of feed wheat and more
prompt filling of orders.
