Iiiiportn tlou of (.'niinilliili wheat wllhoiu spceliil consent liolni; foilililllcii, tliu mill operatives lieoame curious Mini umilu Imiulrlf.s. Tills wliout wits purt of a lare supply which the (Jrnln Corpora tion hml tiroiiKht Inm the United Suites to altl In keepliiK the .Vmcrlcim mills running. There wns another reason. OoinoM tie wheat was not movlnt: from the farms as freely as the millers needed it, and shortage forced the mills to operate at a crcnt disadvantage and, according to them, at higher costs. The hit Journey stnue of our llrst liushel, nl though coiisldenilily chaiiKed In Its form, wns to kh ns Hour to port under rush orders. It now had rlht of way over alt other classes of -freight except other munitions of war. Cw sent of the VVar Trade Hoard helm: obtained. It was loaded on a ship and passed safely through Uio nubninrliie Held to France, where it succored the hungry. We started out to follow the travels of two hushels of wheat from the farm to their points of consumption under war condition with tho IJ. S. Food Ad ministration In control of the market ing. I have previously discussed tho Journeys of these two bushels from (ho farm to the elevator at the country point. Here they parted nnd one of them passed on to a terminal, .ind from the terminal to a mill and from the mill to seaboard. There It went to Kraneo for consumption. The Other Bushel of Wheat Start Travellno. 0V us to tho other bushel of wheat. , A certain Georgia miller, In need of supplies, notified the Grain Corporation , and received permission to buy on the open market. About the same time our eo-opcratlvo elevator manager had listed a shipment with his terminal representative a highly reputable commission linn, also under Grain Corporation license. Tills linn caught wind of the Georgia order nnd secured permission to sell the Mis souri wheat. The second bushel was muling those poured Into u car and hustled along to Its destination. This shipment did not pnss through any terminal market. It moved straight to Atlanta, where It went between the rollers of the mill. Controlling the Jobber by License. Now, tho Hour which caino from our Seconil bushel of wheat was rolling serenely nlong In another direction, but the car was diverted by special or der of tho l). S. Food Administrator and received by a large wholesale Job ber In New York City. Tills Jobber also does business under a Food Ad ministration license, but administered by the (ilstrlbutlon dlvison. Under li cense terms the Jobbers must sell nt a fair profit only, although the exiict amount of this profit Is not determin ed, tho Food Administration reserving the right in each case to call a halt whert a licensee had gone "the limit.' Tho. Now York Jobbor took for his own, in this case, a profit of HO cents per barrel. He sold part of this ship ment to n retail merchant. This merchant did n small business and wns not llctiiHcd, but even here wns another social check. For the retail merchants of the largo cities and those of many small cities ind towns find each morning and after noon in tho dnlly papers a price list for flour nnd othor commodities which nro considered fair, by tho Federal Food Administrator for their State. These prices viro usually arrived nt through' the riachlnnry of the whole1 rtnlera' and xlyo retailers' organizations. Tlio retailor nlso discovered that tho Jobber who sold hltn this flour Wns feeenly In'terested In the prices paid by tho consumer. For tho Food Adminis tration has discovered an indirect WTAR CAVINGS VV ILL AVE ill V rA keatuolta means of control or the retailer by making the Jobber a voluntary police man to his -ruslonier. Tho Jobber Is licensed to sell only to tinders who deal fairly, and If It should turn out that, a Jobber persists In doing busi ness with retailers guilty of prolltcer lug In staples under control the Food Administration has and may exercise the right to revoke the license of tho Jobber, The other part of this shipment con tained our second bushel of wheat and went over to the F.ust Side Into a small bakery, which quickly made It Into creamy loaves. TIicm loaves were placed In groceries and dclleatcsien.i and the next day were i-aten by hun gry little boys and girls with dark eyes and big noses and quaint ways, Orlnrjs Out Startling Truths. Government control has brought out these startling truths: More people unnecessarily niako their living out of whent distribution than was suspected. Thousands and thousands of little speculators have dad to turn elsewhere for u livelihood. A number of commission men have lia,d. to close shop. There are places where elevators should be built ami other places where there are too many elevators. Tfie Government, domltmt lngtlin wheat market, carries Its own marine Insurance. Wheat handlers at terminals have had their activities re stricted. Hut most of all It Is Interesting to see how the price of lloiir per barrel Unaided from the lime Uncle Sum took a positive hand In the matter. The Food Administration has recently com pleted aii Interesting chart on the prices of wheat and bulk Hour at Min neapolis. In n statement of Novem ber "It, the Food Administration says: Tlio farmer rocrlvH for thn 1914 linr vriit hotweon JI.4S nnrl It. CO per Imntint for tho hnrvcM, tnktnc tho country by larso nnd .

I'HING Inst July and Au gust, Idle Congress was wrestling with Itself lo produce n food adminis tration, and there was no Grain Coroorallon. flour production In the iirlncliml centilrs' was 7.ri per cent under the saiiid period In 1050. In September, October and November, under llle supervision of the Food Administration, Hour pro duction wns ill per cent of the same period In 1010. What this mentis In the great national situation, with depleted domestic Hour resorves nnd clamoring foreign buyers, cah hardly be over emphasized, when movement of wheat Into primary markets has heen hnrdlv half that of a year ago, or 100,000,000 bushels less. It was nothing short of master strategy. The total number of bushels pur chased by tho Grain Corporation from tho IIIihi It commenced activities to February 1 Is l)7,'J7fl,M.r).rj0, Arranged by months, the purchases 111 bushels woro: September, 7,8 11, '200.20; Octo ber, l!),!.10,nin.f!; November, '10,1120,-07-1.20; December, 21,-150,iMl.00, and Janunry. 17,008,000.03. During July mid August our Hour exports were ubout tho snmo ns. In tho same two months of lOld; but In Sep tember, October, nnd November, tho exportation whs fiO per cent larger tlmn a year ngo. So tho Gniln Cor poration has discharged olir obliga tions to tho alllfs, nnd restored our flour reserves, which Is tho larger as pect of tho Question.
