OMARA WHEAT HAS RANK OF I7S OWN Stamp of Inspector Powell Taken by Foreign Countries and No Questions Asked. PUTS OMAHA ON GRAIN MAP If you should happen to be in Lon- don, Liverpool or any other foreign seaport to which American-grown wheat is shipped and in looking over the waybills of shipments if you found one that had stamped-across its face, with just an. ordinary_ rubber stamp, the words: “Approved.. George B. Powell, chief inspector, and = weighmaster, Omaha Grain = Exchangé, Omaha, Neb.,” you would not have to go any farther to ascertain the quality of the wheat covered by the waybill and certificate. You would know thivt this wheat was of the highest quality, was grown in Omaha. trade territory and that Omaha was the market town from whence it came. Since the first of the present year over 8,000,000 bushels of such wheat and so certified has gone to foreign ports from Omaha. Its value has ex- ceeded $12,000,000, to say notliing of the freight and ocean-going charges. Hear of Omaha. Prior to the first of this year grain grown in Omaha trade territory and the Omaha Grain exchange had no standing in the foreign countries, The facts were that across the big pond there were a lot of the wheat jobbers and millers that knew nothing about wheat grown in Omaha trade terri- lor{, looking upon all of the cereal as being American-growr. And while they knew nothing about the wheat, if possible, they knew less about maha as a grain market, One day Chief Inspector Powell evolved an idea. It was that wheat grown in Omaha trade territory is the best in the world and the only thin& necessary to broaden the scope of the Omaha market would be to spread the news concerning the qual- ity of this wheat, Mr. Powell got busy. He sent sam- ples of the wheat abroad and explain- ed that all of the wheat coming in and going out of Omaha was bought and sold on his inspection. . This looked good to the foreign buyers and they placed a small order. The service was satisfactory and more . orders were placed, with the result that with- in the last sixty days Omaha has be- come one of the largest markets in the country sending out export wheat, Previously, wheat sold in Omaha went to Chicago, Baltimore, New Or- leans, or some of the other big ex- porting points. There it was graded and inspected, and with this grading and inspection . went across. the ocean, Now everything is changed. Agents for exporters buy their wheat here, It is inspected and certified to by Chief Inspector Powell and starts for desti- nation, At destination .it is received on this inspection. and certification nd no qu 8 ever asked ms-to % :ylecomplhhment of Mr. Powell, it is asserted, has brought about a sort . of revolution in_the grain business, . upeciall{v that . hat 1 4o, with wheat.

BOARD ISSUES WARNING Washington, Aug. 22.—Secretary Flanagan of the federal farm loan board today issued a warning to farm- ers that solicitors are busy in several states without authority of the board, attempting to collect money for the organization of national farm loan as- sociations. Such associations are authorized under the laws and are to be formed by farmers who desire loans. that any organization is now offering to make loans by authority of the farm loan board under the federal farm loan act is false,” said Mr. Flan agan. Mr. Flanagan said information had been received from Montana, Idaho and other western states to the ef- fect that unauthorized persons were soliciting subscriptions there. He said farmers should plan the organization of loan associations. Dates and places for hearings to collect information to aid in locating federal land banks were announced today as follows: From Spokane, Wash., the board will go by way of Tacoma to Port- land, where a hearing will be held September 7. Hearings will be held at sacramento, Cal, September 10; Reno, Nev., September 12; Salt Lake, Sep- tember 14; Cheyenne, Wyo., Septem- ber 15; Denver, September 16; Oma- ha, September: 18.
