JOHN CARROLL
THE BI
Little Wheat Is Moving
Here For Overseas
(Concluded from page 1)
Bluffton dealers. Altho there was
no definite announcement, most farm
ers assumed this was a permanent
ceiling and there would be no
advantage in holding the grain on
their farms.
Price Up 36 Cents
As a result they sold grain direct
ly from the thresher at the then
ceiling price. In March, the farmer s
ceiling was raised three cents to
$1.74 a bushel, but under the new
program announced last week, wheat
sold for overseas relief commands a
cents a bushel bonus making the
selling price $2.07.
The stepped-up price hasn’t produc
ed any appreciable quantity of wheat
because of its scarcity on farms and
because what supplies remain on
hand are needed for feeding pur
poses.
However, a present ceiling 36
cents over the price paid last sum
mer finds many farmers dissatisfied
with government juggling of the
market.
Those selling wheat last harvest
are critical of new developments, be
cause they have no marketable wheat
on their farms, and farmers who
held the grain are in a similar mood
because the government restriction
on corn means they must keep their
wheat as a feeding supplement.
No Corn Moving
No movement of com is reported
at any price in the Bluffton area at
present, either at ceiling or on black
market, because the grain is worth
more than money. The farmer who
has corn will not sell, and the fact
that corn is unobtainable has virtual
ly frozen all existing farm stocks of
wheat.
With livestock and poultry to feed,
no farmer can afford to sell either
corn or wheat, for he knows there is
no way to replenish his feeding sup
plies should they be exhausted..
Freezing of the two major farm
commodities and the resulting con
fusion presents an incongruous
picture in comparison with the
bumper crops produced last year.
Nationally, there was a tremend
ous 1945 volume of farm output, in
cluding a 3,000,000,000-bushel corn
crop, a billion-bushel wheat crop the
second largest oat and soy bean
crops in history the largest hay
crop in 20 years, and the second
largest potato crop.
Plenty For All
Farmers studying Department of
Agriculture figures insist there is a
plentiful supply of food to meet
this country’s committments to
starving nations and also feed the
United States 10 per cent better
than ever before.
However, they feel government
controls, directives and market
manipulation have brought the
present impasse. In effect, refusals
to sell wheat or com under existing
conditions represent a challenge to
the government to make good its
promise to lift all price controls
when any commodity is in ample
supply. They insist that condition
exists today' with respect to. grain,
contrary’ to government procedure
otherwise.
Their challenge also is represent
ed in the fact that livestock is not
moving to market in sufficient supply
to provide meat requirements for
this country alone, altho potentially
there is plenty available.
Farmers want and eventually can
force complete removal of price and
food controls because they hold the
key to the situation in whether or
not they see fit to put their products
on the market under present cir
cumstances.

Marcel Wave
A LTHOUGH marcel seems to be
the perfect name for the wave
in a woman’s hair, it was chosen
only because it was the name of the
man who invented the first success
ful one. But his name was Francois
Marcel Grateau, so some thought
must have been given to the way
the word would sound or his middle
name would not have been chosen.
Francois was
born in 1852 near
Paris and his fa
ther was a stone
mason. His moth
er’s lovely nat
ural wavy hair
was the admira
tion of all her ac
quaintances and
the inspiration for
her son to put all
his effort toward
inventing an iron
that would imi
tate it. Marcel Grateau
Up
Bai
In 1886, he succeeded and women
flocked from all over Europe and
England for his marcel wave. Only
10 years later, he retired from active
hairdressing, the acknowledged ben
efactor of his profession. He lived
for 39 years more, however, and
died at his home, Chateau Thiel,
near Paris, in 1936, at the age of 84.
