'If we seek the honest class of a
community and hesitate to take the
not establish the truth by going to
the gamblers"
This declaration was made by Sec
retary Wilson of the department of
agriculture today in answer to the
criticism of James A. Patten. the
Chicago wheat king" who said the
government crop report overesti-
mates conditions.
"There Is sufficient wheat in the
country at normal prices TO make
bread for America up TO the time
when the new crop comes in, and
those who attempt to keep prices up
at the present rates expect to get
their money out of the common peo-
pie.
THE reporters of the department
of agriculture are farmers living on
farms and they know If anybody
knows, The large majority of wheat
has left the hands of the farmers
and a fictitious price is created.
Farmers are not the beneficiaries and
they will naturally plant wheat so
that next years crop win be abnorm-
ally large, when the gamblers Will
not be i'm the market. Mischief will
be done by this disturbance OF the
crop system"
TO show that the scarcity of
wheat is not the cause for the alb
normal price. Secretary Wilson show
ed that the 1908 wheat crop is 665.-
100000 bushels, against 634. 900, 900
for 1907.
