No. 25, : which became effective Oclober 1. Under these rules, the Food Admin- : istration announces margins in excess of the following schedule in case of j mill feeds, rice feeds and dried beet pulp, will be considered excessive. The schedules given are maximum, and do not justify charges in excess of this customarily charged in any particular ; district or case where the lower charges will insure a reasonable profit. "1. Where one or more farmers purchase in advance of delivery In full carloads, take delivery at car and pay cash when retail dealer is required to j meet sight draft, 51.00 per ton, plus demurrage If any. "2. Wher^ one or more farmers purchase In advance of delivery in fnll | carroaus, lane delivery at car and pay cash on. delivery, $1.50 per ton plus demurrage, if any. "3. Where farmer purchases and | takes delivery at car and pays for It on delivery in ton lots or more, but less than car lots, $2.00 per ton. "4. Whore farmer purchases and j takes delivery at car and paye for it on delivery in lots less than one ton, i $2 50 per ton. "5 Sale ex-warehouse in lots of one ton or more, $4.00 per ton. "6. Sale ex warehouse in lots of less than one ton. $5.00 per ton. "7. One dollar may be added to the foregoing margins when sale is made on credit, or at dealer's option the legal rate of interest may be charged. | "8. Ono dollar shall be deducted from the margUna prescribed in 5 and G when the retailer buys on credit and the Jobber's margin la thereby increased $1.00 per ton." The above margins will also agply to the sale of cotton seed meal cake and hulls by retail feed dealers, except where different margins have been prescribed by the Food Administrator for the State. "The United States Food Adminle- ? tration considers that in scales of feeding stuffs at retail the advance on any individual sale should not in any case exceed the purchase price delivered at warehouse door, plus 15 per cent. Where delivery 1s made to the consumer, reasonable cartage charges may be added. The Food 'Administration will, therefore, consider any sale of feeding staffs in excess of i this advance as a violation. This margin also applies to the sala of corxx oats, rye, or barley at retail as feed, but not to wheat mill feeds, cotton seed products, rice products, or dried beet pulp, for which special margin* are prescribed by the above rula." .
