The Election

Election day in Monterey was
very quiet, the turn-out being
small, probably two-thirds OF the
polling strength of the precinct. :
Tolwhat extent this indifference
effected the result, can only be
surmised, many voters OF both par
ties failing to come out.
Up to the hour of going to press,
the official vote is not available,
and our readers vii! have 10 be
content with the results AS obtain
ed from unofficial figures, and these
give the the Republican % MAORI
ty ia the county, while Hannah,
Republican, received 81 majority
over John W. Stephenson, Demo
cratic incumbent, for House of Del
gates.
It is understood that Mr.. Steph-
enson carried his own county by
40. and that bis mojority in
Rockbridge and Buena Vista made
his election safe.
The state elected WestTorland
De- Wis and the entire Democratic
ticket by the usual majority.

turned. In the yards, they met the

FARMERS CANNOT RECEIVE
LESS THAN 81 FOR 1918 WHEAT
Food Administrator of Grain Corpor-
alton Of U. S. Food Administration
So Informs A. A. Robinson.

There seems to be considerable mis-
understanding in regard to the
price which the farmer will receive
for the 1918 wheat crop. Many farm
ers believe that the government may
pay less than the present fixed price
or that in case peace came the price
would drop in the nei"hborhcor Of one
dollar per bushel This idea has
spread very generally and Mr.. a. A.
Robinson of this city, who is well
known in grain circles, took the trou-
pie this week to ascertain the correct
information from the United States
Food Administration. According to
letter from the food administration
grain corporation of this department
the farmers are guaranteed that
prices for the several STANDARDS of
grades Of wheat for the crop of 1918
shall be based on No. l Northern
Spring Or its equivalent at not less
than $500 per bushel at the principal
interior primary markets. This guar
antee is absolute, is not dependent
upon any action of the President AMI
is binding until May 1, 1919.
In the letter was enclosed the fol-
lowing section from the Pr &c Guar
antee of Food Control Bill ror 1918
crop, approved by Congress August
10th, 1917:
Sec. ID That whenever the Presi
dent shall find that an emergency ex-
lists requiring stimulation of the pro-
duction of wheat and that it is essen
tial that the producers of wheat, pro-
duced within the United States, shall
have the benefits of the guaranty pro-
vided for in this section, he is auth
orized, from time to time, seasonab!v
and as far in advance of seeding tine
as practicable, to determine and fix
and to give public notice of what, IN
der specified conditions, is reason
able guaranteed price of wheat, in or
der to assure producers a reasonable
profit. The President shall thereupon
fix such guaranteed price for each of
the official grain standards for wheat
as established under the United States
