GOVERNMENT TO
CONTROL, YEARS
WHEAT CROPS
Corporation Will Handle All
Purchases for Allies; VIII
Also Act as Broker
for Flour Mills.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Ihe food
administration prepared today to take
over the entire 1917 wheat crop if
necessary to stabilize prices through
out the year. 1t formed $50,000,000
corporation, with all of the stock
held by the federal government, to
buy and sell wheat at the principal
terminals. IA
The move was the first of series
to. be taken to reduce the price ei
bread. Millers already have agreed
to put themselves under voluntary
regulations and are working out with
the food administration a differential
Of profits. Distribution of -four by
wholesalers and ,the baking of bread
will be taken up next.
The hope of the food administra-
ton is to establish scale of prices
from the farm to the grocery store,
eliminating undue profits and ending
speculation. The maintenance Of a
standard price for wheat, its officials
believe, is the first and most neces-
sary step. -
Will Fix Wheat Prices.
In announcing formation Of the
wheat corporation the food admins
tration also made known the per-
sonnel of a committee which will fix
a price TO be paid for this years
wheat yield and the names of thir-
teen men who will act as purchasing
agents for the corporation at ter
minals. y
The wheat corporation will be put
under the administrators grain di-
vision. Its chairman will be Herbert
Hoover and its president Julius
Barnes, Duluth exporter, now serv-
ing as a voluntary aide in the food
administration. The price-fxing
committee will be headed by Presi-
dent Garfield of Williams college
and will comprise twelve members,
representing producers and consum-
ers.
The wheat corporation will handle
all allied grain purchases and will do
the buying for the American govern
ment. If found advisable, it also will
serve as broker for the milling inter-
ests, purchasing wheat for the flour
mills to keep the market steady. The
allies will be required to purchase
-four instead of wheat, on the theory
that manufacturing costs will be re-
duced and American industry encour-
aged.
