Straight as to dates' qnd quantities of wheat purchased, on hand, and shipped out, for the Grain Corporation requires weekly reports nnd fun details of transactions. Selling Wheat to Government. I50UT 29 days lifted the fanner brought In his. wheat there came a re inipsf lo this elevator for n' carload to be purchas 3& it 1 ed y tho Grain Corpora- tlon.. So one of our wheat bushels was poured into a car which nilruculpusly had nppcared on' the siding at a (iuie when car shortage was troubling the entire fouimerclal world. Inquiry might huvp" shown that the Grain Corporation was making a large purcbaBe for Ihe Allies and was utilizing its knowledge of available stocks by having on the Job a trnnS' portatlon strategist Edward Cham bers, vice president of the Sanfn Fe. Mr. Chambers was assisting the Food Administration nnd .has a remarkable "way with him." Even before he was called to assist Mr. McXdoo, the Direc tor General, his suggestions to the rail roads had a wonderful effect In dis couraging their Hesitancy as to finding available cars nnd In clearing up con gestions thaf looked as though Uiey never could be uncongested. How Uncle Sam Keeps the Whip Ease hi' getting the needed curs was one of the advantages enjoyed by this particular elevator after signing tho rjlttntury agreement which ceded to fiVOraln CorporajlgnJhej;!ihtip con- rect supervision. The corporation charges each miller 1 per cent of thi! value of tho wheat he grinds to cover the costs of administering the cor noration: for the SrAOOO.OOil capital Is to lie returned to the United States Treasury, unimpaired. The agreement has its compensa tlon, however, for the policy of Uncle Sam is to provide each mill with all wheat possible. To do so, every mill signing up was' required to furnish an estimate of Its possible milling catiaci ty for the season. This nation-wide survey of milling capacities, when bal anted against the available supply of wheat, enables the Grain Corporation to cqViolize supplies in a way never done before. In fact, the schedule of prices arranged for the primary iimr kets lmif for an object tills equallza tlon' For Instance, If the proprietor of an elevator ut Maryvllle, Mo., 10 miles northeast of St. Joseph, and -ISO miles from Chicago, desires to market wheat he has available these markets St. Joseph, Mo.; Kansas city. Mo.; St. Louis. Mo.; Chicago, III., and .Now York City, N. Y.

While voluntary, this agreement is almost compulsory since railroads give priority recognition to Grain Corpora.' lion requests for cars; and elevators or mills outside the official fold must "ruiitlu" for themselves. In return the Government guarantees the elevator proprietor against losses nnd protects j him In every way us to price nnd pays him rentals for nil storage space requi sitioned by It. All ejovators, local nnd terminal, must take out licenses or fnce u shut down. Whnt Is the powvr of the li cence? It requires the operator to lay All cards on the table as to his busb ness dealings. For tho time of tho war the elevator becomes n public util ity nnd Its proprietor must furnish In formation ns to his business at any time when required by tho Grain Cor poration Knch week he must make and mall reports hhnwlng the amount ofr wheat, rye, or their derivatives, pur chased.

Away went our bushel of wheat on Its Journey to tho terminal, where It met other bushels of wheat from all parts of the territory that fed this market. There It was regarded for special requirements, marked for lin mediate milling and rolled on to ft Inrge mill In Illinois. Tho miller bought tho whent from the Grain Cor pomtlon, for each miller In the Unit ed States Is under llcenso nlso, and most of them hnve MUrd out another voluntary agreement which binds them either to purchnse nil supplies from the Grain Corooratlon or under ltn dl- against the producer, the miller, nniT 1 the consumer are eliminated so far as It seems humanly poRKlble under u ptaii of such tremendous proportions, i UH.SH schedules arrang ed for the various ninikeiB are veritable "price dnnis" fo pre vent the overflowing of the stream of whut at any single market.
