| Valley City, N. D., Sept. ), 1917.
l. J. Moe, secy., Valley City CONNER
cial Club.
Sir: AS a committee of one sent by
the Valley City Commercial club to
Washington for the purpose of pro-
tecting the farmers of North Dakota
from an unjust price for the 1917
wheat crop, beg leave to report
Upon arrival in Washington called
upon DR.. Laid at the committee
rooms and met Dr. Garfield, the pres
| ident Of the committee, and then met
! the members of the Grand Forks and
Fargo delegations.
! Apparently the price fixing Organi-
cation had been. arranged with the
idea of quick action in favor of the
consumer and an attempt was made
to force vote without hearing from
the producer in any way. Mr.. Hoover,
as shown by his public interview, was
committed to five cent loaf, which is
impossible at more than $1.85 per
bushel for wheat with present allow
ances for handling and baking
The problem confronting the North
Dakota representatives both CONNER
clal and lay, was therefore to show
the price fixing body how dangerous it
would be to fix price so low that:
F1rst-1t would discourage the
wheat farmers and
Second - That wheat would be
worth more on the farm to feed to
hogs and poultry than the price would
net the farmer.
For eight days the battle ragged and
inch by inch the consumers represen-
tatives came up from $1.85 until fin
ally, on Thursday night, the price fix
Ing board got together at $3.50 in Chi
CagO for No. Northern.
To the Commercial club l wish to
state that my belief is that without
the very prompt action taken by you
and the clubs of Grand Forks and Far
go, the basic price would have been
not to exceed $1.90 per bushel in Chi
cago. f..
TO the farmers of our community 7
wish to extend congratulations that
under the conditions their representa-
tive, DR. Laid, was able to secure for
those who must sell on the early mar
ket price which should net $500 Der
bushel of wheat at their home sta
tons. =
Personally l am of the opinion that
conditions IN our markets warranted
much higher price for the crop year
as whole than the $3.50 which has
been set.
These conditions briefly are as fol-
lows: =
First-The wheat and flour stocks
in dealers hand in the TTnited Sfatos
are the lowest in so years.
Second-The price of corn is so high
that until the new crop is ready to
feed, about Nov. l, wheat on the farm
is worth more. than the set price to
feed to pigs and poultry.
Third-The price set will not check
the use of wheat -four but on the con-
trary will increase it.
Fourth-Had we not undertaken the
purchase Of provisions and bread
stuffs for our allies wheat would
sometime during the 1917 crop sold I'D
to SIS per bushel without any option
speculation.
Flfth--lf peace should come during
the year it will only be because the
central powers are starving in which
case toodstuffs will advance to stin
higher levels as soon as our present
foes can gain admittance to our mar
kets.
All of which is respectfully submit
tea. -Amasa P. Peake
