SOME WANT TO HOLD
TO SAVE INTEREST

PORTLAND, Sept. 27.-Fedef-
al Grain Commissioner Houser
announced this morning that
any northwest farmer can ship
his grain to the local office OF
the United States food adminIs-
tratiOn, If dissatisfied with deal
ers. The corporation will ham
die il less one per cent commits
sion.
Though much wheat is passing
from the hands of the growers under
the terms and price set by the gov
ernment there are signs that the entire
crop Will not be turned at this time.
Some farmers, not in need of ready
money, object to having to pay six
per cent interest on the $3.50 per
bushel advance money and II possible
viii hold their wheat until It is need
ed by the government. Whether
they will be allowed to do this Is not
authoritatively known but It is pre-
sumed they may do so as the gov
ernment will have no object in
forcing the sale of wheat until It Is
needed. Further information on this
point is expected soon.
The above Portland report from
NJ. II. Houser shows that broker
age commission of one per cent must
be borne by the farmer even IL no
sells his wheat direct to the food ad-
ministration.
