forcing up OF the price Of wheat, The
plan is to get a large per cent of the
wheat producers to agree to not take
less than stipulated price for their
wheat; and the promoters claim that
this can be done. 1t is agreed that
the present price is below the natural
price, and that by united effort, on the
part of the growers the pressure which
is brought to bear to hold the price
down must give way.
The plan has new features. Hereto

the price which they should pay for
what they buy and for transportation
Combination of their energies upon
