lution In grain market
tug was taking place. Uncle Sam
had started on this remarkable ex
periment; he was going to seo wheth
er wli.at could be marketed minus
rake-olTs to the speculators. This
necessitated complete control by the
Government of storage facilities, trans
portation and distributive agencies,
and thu marketing machinery for
wheat and rye.
Kverybody was troubled; most of
till, the oIllclnlH of thu Food Adminis
tration Grain Corporation who had
undertaken, without salary, mid at thu
sacrifice of their personal connection
with the grain trade, to whip Into
shape tho forces that would drlvu for
ward thu big business machine for

uiaklng corporation to do the work.
This work Is u necessary arm of tho
Food Administration, allowing tho
Government to do business quickly
and without red tape. Its stock Is held
In trust by the President of tho Unit
ed States. Kor the time of the wnr It
will supervise the rate or purchase

market for every bushel, Irrespective
of class and grade. Under its patron
age, wheat screenings aro moving Just
as easily us No. 1 Northern. It must
also work out satisfactorily the local
prices for wheat at each of almost
110,000 country elevator points, adjust
thousands of complaints, nrgnnlr.o tho

concerns reported us denllng unfairly,

the wheat-producing regions. This was
Intensified by the Inauguration of tho

Finding the Price of No. 2 Wheat at
Slkeston,
AKK an actual example ?
An elevator 1111111 In
.Slkeston, Mo wanted
to know what prhu
No, V! wheat shout I
bring nt Ids statin 1
when No. 1 who. t
ut New York City was ?.J3 per bus':
el. Hero Ib how bo went about It:
Tho freight rate from Slkeston t
New York being 10,118 cents per bus)
el, be deducted that from J-.-S pir
bushel and found the price nt Klkesti 1
to he JJ.llO'J. From this he deducti I
1 per cent per bushel for tho comml
slon linn's charges, which put tho u t
price f. o. b. Slkeston at 52.1002.
Ho next compared this price wit 1
what ho could gut If he sold at S
Inul.i, his nearest primary market, At
St. I-ouls the basic price Is $2 18 per
bushel, and the freight rate froi 1
Slkeston to St. Louis (1 cents per bus'
el. This would make the Slkesti 1
price $2.12, le. a 1 cent per bushel fi r
selling charges, or $2.11 net. The Si
l)uls price would therefore govern,
being advantageous to the Slkeston
seller.
If our Imaglnnry 2 bushels of wheitt
bad started from Slksctnn, since It wai
a No. 2 grade, wo must deduct .'I cents
per bushel, which would bring tho
price f. o. 1 1. the elevator point to
S2.0S02 per bushel. As our Imaginary
elevator man Is charging fi cents pi r
bushel for handling, which lucliidis
the commission fee Just mentioned, wu
deduct an additional 1 cents to arrive
at the price the farmer received. Th's
price would be $2.0102 at the elevator.
Some of that I ccutt? will return to orr
farmer If tho elevator prospers; for It
Is owned co-operntlvely.
When Farmer and Elevator Man Dis
agree.
Hnd this elevator beon owned by prl
vote firm or person, or hnd It been a
"lino" plant, Col. .lonklns would not
hnvo been so bland nnd trustful.
Ho might have refused to sell at alt
ami arranged to store his wheat or ho
might have taken It over to a com.
petltlvo concern which offered a high
or price; for tho Food Administration
has not yet attempted to regulate the
prices paid farmers for wheat at coun
try points. It does, however, offer to
sell for any farmer or farmers' organ
ization wheat offered at terminal
points, but makes a commission chnrpe
of 1 per cent for Its services.
