Kansans Say They Lose 8 Cents "
Bushel in Marketing
D. DooLITTLE TAKES A HAND
Fourth District Congressman intro
duces Resolutions i'm House to
Investigate Conditions In
Kansas City

Topeka, July 15.-Charges tnat
the Kansas farmers are losing i've
cents a bushel in the marketing OF
export wheat in Kansas City have
been made by some Of them, and
Dudley Doolittle, representative from
the Fourth district, has introduced
a resolution for a congressional in
vestigation.
At the present time wheat Is pour
ing into Kansas City, mainly for ex'
port purposes and in fulfillment OF
July delivery contracts, at the rate
Of / million bushels a day. That
means-if the claims OF Doolittle
and the Kansas producers are true
that the producers are losing
$50 900 a day in the price beine
paid by Kansas City and the expcr'
price.
Under date of July z, Kansas
business man and wheat producer
wrote to Doolittle urging Ieoeral IN
vestigation Of conditions.
"I find at the present time, saio
the Kansas producer, mo. 2 marc
wheat Is selling on the Kansas CITY
market at s2.5 cents for export, and
despite this fact the farmer in Kan
sas Is not able to get in excess o.
ss cents on an average for his Whea'
at the elevator. This margain Is un
reasonable and the low price OF q
cents is causing irreparable intur'
ana causing the farmer heavy loss
The price Is not justified By condi
uona II strikes me there is some
thing rotten in Kansas City"
