New Programs For Overseas Relief Four New Areas To Be Assisted Protestant churches in America, working cooperatively through church world service, have instituted four new programs of overseas relief, extending their ministries of providing food, clothing and other material assistance to needy persons in 47 countries. The new programs of assistance —to Ghana, the Belgian Congo and Uganda, in Africa, and to Chile, South America—were announced by Dr. R. Norris Wilson, executive director of church world service, following the June meetings of the denominationally constituted committee on overseas program.

persons in the new areas, Dr. Wilsin said, either have already been received or are en route. Church world service, with officers at 215 Fourth Avenue, is the overseas relief agency created by major Protestant denominations in the United States to carry on cooperative programs of relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction in areas of distress and destitution abroad. The four new cooperative Protestant ministeries are made possible be responses to the one great hour of sharing and the share our surplus appeals of the churches, to the Christian rural overseas program, and to the united clothing appeal. In Chile, where 75,000 lbs of U. S. Government-donated cheese and church-collected clothing already have arrived, the continuing program of assistance will be a joint effort of church world service and Lutheran world relief. Projected program for the next 12 months embrances approximately a million and a half pounds of powdered milk, wheat flour, cheese and

rice from U. S. surplus stocks in addition to supplies of contributed clothing. Dr. Russell Stevenson, CWS director of overseas program, said the first application of relief in Chile would be in the slum areas of Santiago and among the aborigines in the Temuco area, with eventual extension 'northward throughout the country. The program will be carried on locally through the Chile Evangelical council made up of indigenous Protestant churches under the immediate direction of its executive secretary, Dr. Pedro Zottele of the Methodist church, and Theophil A. Tschuy, CWS representative in Chile. Albert A. Schwenke of the Evangelical and Reformed mission staff in Ghana will direct the program in that country in cooperation with the CWS committee of the Ghana Christian council. First shipment to Ghana which, Dr. Stevenson said, has already arrived consists of 36,000 lbs. of powdered milk for supplemental insitutional feeding in leper colonies, hospitals, etc.

- HR I In the Belgian Congo, the program will begin with allocation of 30,000 lbs. of cheese and 72,000 lbs of milk for free distribution among needy persons. The new CWS representative there is Dr. William Rule of the Protestant medical council. Miss Sue Still of the Uganda YMCA staff, working the Uganda CWS Committee, will be responsible there for an institutional program similar to that begun in Ghana, servicing lepers, needy In hospitals, etc. No. Two Wheal Is Market Base Price Below Standard To Bring Lower Price When a farmer takes his wheat to the elevator he may not receive the price quoted for No. 2

wheat. W. S. Farris, Purdue University agricultural economist, points out that the price for No. 2 wheat is the base price in the market. He explains that wheat that meets the standards for No. 2 grade should have: a test weight of at least 58 pounds a bushel; not more than 14 per cent moisture; not more than four per cent damage; not more than one per cent foreign material; and not more than five per cent of other classes of Wheat. Wheat that fails to meet these standards is usually sold for a price lower than that quoted for No. 2 wheat. A discount schedule is used to arrive at the price for a given load of wheat, Farris explains. Here is a typical discount schedule used this year in Indiana: Test weight—one cent for each % pound from 57 to 56 pounds. One and a half cents for each % pound from 56 to 54. Two cents for each % pound from 54 to 51. Moisture — Three cents for each % per cent 14 to ; 15 per cent. Four cents for each % per cent 15 to 17. Damage—One I

cent for each one per cent four to ’ 10 percent. Foreign material — > One cent tor each per cent or i fraction over one per cent. Other : Classes—One cent over five to i eight per cent. Two cents over : eight to 10 percen.t ; Other discount factors: light garlicky (2 to 6 bulblets per 1,000 ■ grams! 5 cents; garlicky (7 to 100 bulblets per 1,000 grams) eight to i 18 cents; light smutty (14 to 30 1 balls per 250 grams) four cents; smutty (over 30 balls per 250 • grams) six to 50 cents. Here is the way the above dis- ' count schedule would work: Suppose a load of wheat tests 56Vi > pounds per bushel, 14% percent I moisture, no damage, 2% percent i foreign material, no other classes I Os wheat and four garlic bulblets ■ per 1,000 grams. If the local price i for No. 2 wheat is $1.65 a bushel, f what is the load of wheat worth? i The discounts would total 12 I cents a bushel (test weight, two : cents; moisture, three cents; for- > eign material, two cents and gari lie. five cents). These discounts : would make the price per bushel I

> of this load of wheat $1.53 ($1.65 - minus 12 cents). Farris empha- • sizes that farmers can keep the • discounts for their jgheat at a > minimum by marketing clean. ■ dry, disease-free wheat.
