HEN this account of the latest Nonpartisan vic- tory is printed the new price scale for lower wheat grades will have : been in- operation sev- eral days. It went into effect Sep- tember 2, exactly one week after the North Dakota congressmen elected by League farmers had mobilized a platoon of northwestern farmer dele- gates and stormed the offices of the United States Grain corporation at 42 Broadway, New York City, to deliver what was, in effect, an ultimatum on the subject of wheat prices. In the now historic New York con- ference on August 26, Julius H. Barnes, federal grain administrator, freely admitted the justice of the two main contentions on which the Non- partisan "league has based its fight against the grain grades “fixed” by the " notorious ' Charles J. Brand. Barnes agreed ,that_the price spread under the present grades is unfair, and he admitted also that under the present grades the farmer gets prices often far below the milling value of his wheat. Unable to revise the grades’ set by the department of agri- culture he has done the next best thing in formulating a new . price scale. This is as follows, as drawn for terminal sales at Minneapolis, with country point sales subject only to the appropriate transportation -discounts: - No. 1, $2.21% per bushel; No. 2, $2.18%5; No. 38, $2.15%; No. 4, $2.11%; No. 5, $2.07%.

This ruling applies to grades running as low as 45 pounds. Wheat grading below No. 5 for reasons other than deficiency in test weight is to be bought on its relative merits. The new price rulings now in effect further specify that 2 cents a bushel is to be the maximum discount for slightly smutty wheat, although grain that is badly smutted may be sub- jected to larger discounts. Garlicky wheat is to be discounted a flat 2 cents, and discounts from 2 to 5 cents will be applied to mixed wheat ac- cording“to judgments of quality made by .the grain corporation’s vice presi- dents. 2 Mixed wheat and rye, grading as mixed grain, will be discounted as fol- lows under the new standards: The average value of the wheat and rye will be estimated separately at their proper value and in their proper pro- portion, figuring rye at 60 pounds to the bushel. Allowance will be made for dockage or other foreign material and deduction will be made as_seems justifiable, with the provision of a not less than 5 cents per bushel penalty for thé mixture. Outstanding features of the new rulings are as follows: . The action is taken at such a time that the advantages will be realized on the first grain brought in to the elevators. The standard price scales have been sent by Mr. Barnes to all zone offices of the United States Grain corporation with instructions to-them to have the government buy in competition if the dealers try to evade or underbid the federal scale. - The price scales specify a not more than 10-cent' spread between No. 1 and No. 4 wheat. At the conference a mass of data was submitted proving that the farmers have been receiving - for their wheat prices with a spread of from 25 to 42 cents a bushel. The unfairness of this, in view of the rela- tive milling values of light-weight wheat, was strongly emphasized by President Ladd of the North Dakota Agricultural college. The new price scale is based on the government guaranteed price. ‘Since the guarantced price on No. 1 wheat is mot affected by the new standards, and as flour prices are based on the price paid by the millers "for this grade, rezardless of the pro- mately ‘go into the making of the flour, there is no excuse for raising the retail price of bread and other ,wheat products by this decision. Any ‘attempt by the millers to make up this increase to the producer out of the pocket of the consumer will be rigorously dealt with by the grain corporation,” it is promised. The necessary arrangements fon the conference which has resulted in this memorable victory for the organized farmers were made by Representative George M. Young of North Dakota. Beside the North Dakota delegation of Baer, Young and Sinclair there were present Representatives ' Vol- -stead, Anderson, Knutson and Steen- erson. of Minnesota and Riddick of Montana.
