wheat ia 9 cent a bushel higher. 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." '
