The hero is Victor H. Fadden, the winter at Miami, who is praised warmly in a letter to the Tribune by A. P. Naylor for saving the life of the latter's son, A. 8. Nay- Fadden and young Naylor both are veterans of the war and suffering from effects of poison gas inhaled on the “western front.” ‘The mishap occurred while the two were boating on Little River and Biscayne Bay.

The elder Naylor says there is no doubt but that his son would hi drowned had it not been for Fadden’s jheroism and in his letter he expresses deep gratitude to the Bismarcx man.

Forced to compete with vast im- Ports of foreign wheat, needed to make up for the inadequate produc- tion in @ non-agricultural nation, the English wheat-growing industry had been depressed for years. Even the British tariff and trade agreements failed to aid it materially, so parlia- ment, in a remarkable economic ex- periment, passed the wheat act. Parliament stated the objects in one sentence: “To establish a standard Price and @ secure market for home- grown wheat of millable quality.” Administration of the wheat act is conducted by a wheat commission of 17 members. On it are represented growers, millers, importers, merchants and consumers, including bakers. The subsidy, or bonus, paid the wheat grower comes ultimately from the bread consumer because the pay- Mments made by the millers and im- Porters are undoubtedly added to the Price of flour and passed along. Standard Price Set The amount of these “deficiency Payments” that registered wheat growers receive is figured in this way: A standard price for home-grown wheat has been fixed by the gov- ernment at 10 shillings (normally about $2.50) per 100 pounds, subject to revision in 1935. To make this un- derstandable to Americans, accustom- ed to dealing with wheat in bushels, it should be explained that a bushel of wheat weighs about 60 pounds. The British” N. D. Livestock Held Up Well in January North Dakota cattle and sheep held up well in flesh and condition during January, according to the monthly range and livestock report from the .| federal statistician’s office at Fargo. price and the 10-shilling Price is the amount of the bonus col- tected from the millers and importers and paid to the wheat growers. Thus, if the average market price received by the wheat growers was nine per 100 pounds, the wheat commission pays to the farmer one on each hundredweight he sells. The farmer may sell to whom he pleases and at whetever Price he can get. Bonus Pay Slides As a limitation on bonus payments, the maximum estimate allowed for home-grown wheat, less that retained for seed, is 27,000,000 hundredweight. This just about equals production in the best crop years. If sales exceed that figure, the bonus payment is reduced pt ly. Thus, 20,000,000 hun- dredweight and the actual quantity Sold is 22,000,000 hundredweight, the bonus is reduced one-eleventh. When a registered farmer sells his wheat he must apply for a wheat cer- tificate to an authorized merchant the wheat commission. The grower fills ference between the average price fix- ed by the wheat commission and the government's standard price. These certificates are cashed by the wheat commission. In certain cases the grower may obtain advance payments, but ordin- arily the payment of the bonus is not Gue until the end of the cereal year. The wheat grower has a sure ket for his product since the law makes it obligatory for a millers’ ing corporation to purchase grown wheat upon order of th culture minister, who course is arbitration of disputes as to the price or quality. of agriculture the growers themselves might formulate a plan for better marketing and get government sup- port.
