FIXING PRICES OF WHEAT

The action of the federal food con-
troll board in naming 1920 per bushel
as the Chicago price for No. l wheat
will be satisfactory to farmers who
have average or abundant crops, while
others whose yields are considerably
below the normal amount were hop
ing for larger returns than will be
received under the government price
fixing regulations. In some OF the
wheat raising sections where drouth
conditions have reduced the wheat
crop to unusually small proportions, it
was hoped that the food control board
would set a price of $3.50 to $500
per bushel for this seasons product.
It will be recognized, however, that
the federal board was governed by a
wide variety of considerations. The
welfare of the farming community
and the desirability Of stimulating pro-
duction suggested that the market
price of wheat be fixed at a figure
that would give profitable returns on
an average crop, and it was difficult
or almost impossible to provide a re-
munerative price for drouth stricken
sections without making the same +
price apply to localities where large
yields have been harvested. The board
was also required to take into ac-
count the interests Of the laboring
classes and other consumers, who
were represented on the board by sew
eral members. The latter, according
to the press dispatches, favored a
price of less than S1.9O per bushel as
the basic quotation in the Chicago
market.
In Montana and other wheat pro-
ducing sections where unfavorable eli
matte conditions have reduced the
yield far below the average amount,
the government-fxed price means a
loss upon practically every bushel that
is sent to market. In many cases the
scanty crop is the result Of two seed

COM plan for rendering aid has been de-

sas plan, the Minneapolis Journal
says:
DUR The seed wheat committee of the
ailty Kansas state council of defense this
the week set out to raise $4,000, 900 for
the the purpose of providing farmers of
over western Kansas with seed wheat for
Chl- this autumn's sowing. A considerable
per portion Of the western part of the
ana state this year lost its wheat crop
night through dry weather and winter-kill-
ing. Farmers in the district are not
e1ore in any sense needy, but, because of
T. tne the high cost of seed, are more or less
indisposed to sow wheat-which is the

ings, the fall wheat having been win
TERRIFIED. Each effort to produce this
seasons crop was made at higher
cost, the farmer having been COM
PEELED to pay more for his machinery,
household supplies and other items
that enter into the cost of production.
By reason Of a prolonged drouth dur
ing the growing season the quality
of the wheat is said to be below the
average, and a large proportion of the
crop will be classed in grades lower
than the standard for which the Chi
cago market price will be 1920 per
bushel. These are unfortunate and
discouraging conditions-but it might
be worse.
About three years ago, just before
the outbreak Of the European war, the
average price of wheat in Montana
markets was less than 70 cents. At
that time, of course, the crops were
large and the cost of producing them
was much less than it is today, but it
is apparent that, except for the de-
mand caused by the war, the scanty
Montana crop of this year would sell
for much less than is promised by ac-
ton of the federal control board.
According to the market records,
during the last ten years the highest
average price paid to producers for
wheat was the June first price, 1917,
practically $2.49 per bushel. Up to
the present time the price has ranged
between a minimum of rs cents paid
in December, 1912, to the above maxi
mum.
The average yearly price Of No.
northern spring wheat in the Chicago
market during the t%en-year, 1908 to
1917, was $1.26 per bushel, ranging
between 81 cents in 1913 and $2.37 in
1917. During the same period the av-
erage yearly price paid to producers
was $1.97 per bushel, ranging between
70 cents in 1913 and $500 in 1917.
