least one of the great foreign wheat grow

public and Australia, which are the prin-
cipal wheat growing nations of the world.
The idea suggested as outlined is that
these nations, should they see fit to unite
in an agreement upon the subject, could
fix price for wheat to be maintained un-

production and unsatisfactory crops.

him over until the wheat was in demand

Interests Nebraska Farmers.

The American Chicory Company has
issued circular to all chicory raisers fix
ing the price to be paid for the roots at 50
per ton at the factory at O'Neil. The cir
cular calls attention to the clause
of the contracts which fixes the
price at SO per ton, ''if no bounty is paid
the company" and the provision requir-
ing the farmers to refund the sum of S1.50
per ton if they shall have received 5000
per ton for the beets, Sin the event oil the
bounty not being paid or the law being
declared invalid" and states that the re-
ducton is made because of the prObab e
repeal of the law by the next Legislature
and the further possibility of the law be-
ing declared unconstitutional in the action
now pending in the supreme court. If
the bounty is received on this years CHI
cory crop then the company agrees to pay
all farmers who have received bat SO per
ton the extra $1.50. The extra payment
Will amount to about $4,000. 1t is thought
that all OF the chicory crop Will be deIiv-
cred to the factory and paid for by De-
ctmber 15. The company has already
paid for the first of the crop that was de.
llvered at the rate of 5000 per ton.
