 76 Pleasant St., Northampton, Mass. 



Uuiielucied from pai^e I 



ministration Grain Corporation, at Bos- 

 ton, 01' on small lots to grain dealers. 

 The former will, in most cases, be the 

 more practical disposition of small quan- 

 tities of wheat, either on the exchange 

 basis whereby the wheat grower re- 

 ceives back flour equivalent to his wheat, 

 or on the basis of sale of wheat to the 

 miller, the finding a market for the flour. 

 Several New England mills are in the 

 market for local wheat, which can be 

 shipped to them in sack.-^, le,?s than cai- 

 lots. 



The Food Administration has knowl- 

 :dge of a number of mills through Mass- 

 r.chusett? which are being put into shape 

 for wheat and rye giinding, and the 

 County Administrator or Agricultural 

 Agent will usually be able to infoi m the 

 grower of the nearest facilities avail- 

 able to him. There are no restrictions 

 as to the amount of "whole wheat" oi' 

 graham flour which a mill may deliver 

 to a customer, and no substitutes need 

 be sold with the flour produced by the 

 local grist mills. 



Sale of wheat may always be made in 

 car lots to the Food Administration 

 Grain Corporation at Boston, through 

 the Corporation's Agent, .J. E. South- 

 worth, Chamber of Commerce. The 

 price delivered at Boston on the "basic" 

 wheats, .such as No. 1 Red Winter, is 

 $2.39V, less 1 '/r administration fee to 

 the Grain Corporation. Wheat offered, 

 of cour.se, has to be graded by the grain 

 inspectors, and the price would be re- 

 lated to that of "basic" wheat accord- 

 ing to the grading. The mills will 

 usually pay a price equal to what could 

 be obtained by marketing to the Grain 

 Corporation, or higher. 



The difliculty of making up a carload 

 of wheat (which is about 1000 bushels) 

 in Ma.ssachusetts, is realized, but grain 

 dealers in some sections may undertake 

 to collect a carload or more from the pro- 

 ducers, retaining something like .5 to 

 8 cents a bushel out of the proceeds for 

 their trouble and expen.?e in handling- 

 it, and ship to the Grain Corporation. 



The local Food Production Committees 

 and County Agricultural Agents, as well 

 as Local Food Administrators, may be 

 of great assistance to wheat producers 

 in effecting the sale or grinding of wheat 

 in one of the above methods, so that it 

 will get into human consumption. No 

 miller is allowed to grind or crack, and 

 no dealer is allowed to sell, good milling 

 wheat for stock or poultry feeding. 



There is a possible market for local 

 wheat, in addition to the above-men- 

 tioned, in the Massachusetts cereal 

 manufacturing companies. Two such 

 concerns which happen to be known to 

 the Food Administration are the Ararat 

 Grocery Company of Boston and Peter 

 Gilligian Company, Worcester.
