Tha beat price 1 received for any of'tny sacked wheat 52.10 for 249 sacks of choice Msrqnit wheat. Most of arty crop gave returns of about 51.95, tacked. Tha govetament has fixed 82.20 on the Coast for wheat grading No. 1. , Very little of this grade Is grown ia the Inland Empire, it being tho hard wheat- of tha Dakota. I doabt if one bushel ia 1000 in this section will grade No. 1. At the very outset the fanner is docked eents a bushel for wheat that grades No. 2 aad then if the buyer think that it is No. S an additional penalty of 8 cents is added. The flour milled from this wheat, however, it told aa grade No. 1. "Then tha freight rate of IS cents a bushel ia deducted. It make no difference if the wheat ia bought for a Spokane mill, to which tha freight charge will be only few eents bushel, tho farmer is assessed tha full freight charge to tha Coast, of 18 cents. Then you are charged 2 eents for buying. If the farmer tells direct to tho mill that is of the reductions that is made ia settle ment. Then follows a charge of a cents a bushel for loading, and la addition to this an other charge of 10 cents a ton a month is made for any wheat remaining la ttorage over 80 days. buyer generally hat no difficulty in dis covering soma small damage in tacks, and this, with the Insuraneo. and interest, all three items being combined la one charge, amounts to an other cent and a half. "The buyer will smell of tho wheat and de clare that there is evidence of smut, although tha Palouse district haa been remarkably tree from thtt trouble this year. " This alleged smut imposes a penalty of 2 atnta a buaheL. - On top of this he will discover that there ts dirt ana chaff ia the product, aad this entails another cut of 2 cents. "So instead of getting 82.20 a bushel, aa the farmer hoped for and- it entitled to, ha geu about 81.88 for his bulk wheat. "When paa receive a statement from the buyer showing bow much he has whittled yon down and yon voice some complaint he forth with pulls out the government regulation and shows that he is entitled to make all of these charges. . - " When the farmer consign-hi wheat" to -the government on the Coast ho fares better-in soma eases and in acme cases wort. On consignment be runs bp against the demurrage charges of 85 a day for unloaded can.' This eats into the profit. Some farmers have been compelled to buy sacks oa tho Coast aad tack their ship ment when they , have been unable to get their cars unloaded and tha demurrage penalty is in operation. The government buyers on the Coast make the same kind of reductions. . "It is peculiar that no -two buyers tnske exactly the same reductions, although they all make pAnty. They all teem to grade the wheat differently. I took the tame wheat to a number of buyers, and the price ranged from 91.75 to 1.96 a bushel. They are the Judges, and the only thing on can do it to accept their prieea. Tha woods aro full of buyers, and With tho wide range of prices offered it baa been demonstrated that it Is best to make tha rounds of all before concluding a .deal. While the wheat price baa been axed by the govenaaent, moat of tha commodities that enter into tho exoense have not. . The coat of threshing this year ran as high aa 20 cents in many instances. Sacks cost from 26 to 28 eenta each. Sacking twine coats from 81 to 81.25 a pound, and bindings wine from 22 to 5 eenta a pound, including tne expense oi boarding and rooming, shockers cost tha farm ers as high aa 57 a day. Then, on top oi au this expense the shortest crop in yea re waa ob tained."
