Can Take Whole Harvest

In substitution for the broken
down marketing machinery, the
food administration proposes to
open agencies for the purchase of
all wheat at the principal termi-
nails, carrying on its transactions
with the usual dealers, and is pre-
pared to take the whole harvest,
if necessary IN order to maintain
a fair price, and will resell wheat
for export in such quantities as
we can afford to part with in pro
lection of our own people, on one
hand, and to sell on the other, to
the millers for domestic consump
ton.
The administration will make
no charge except a nominal per.

Committee to Fix Prices

The food administration, un-
der these arrangements, would
have large influence in determin-
ing the price of wheat. With a
view to determining a fair price
the president has approved the
appointment of a committee to
be selected from representatives
of the producing sections and con-
suming elements in the Commu-
nifty.
This committee will be assem-
bled under the Craftsmanship of
President Garfield of Williams
college, and it will be the duty of
this committee to determine a
fair price for the 1917 harvest.
Upon the determination of this
fair price it is the intention of the
food administration to use every
authority given it under the bill
to effect the universally of this
fair basis thr )u9hout the whole
of the 1917 harvest year without
change or fiuctuation.
1T should thus be clear that it
will not be to the advantage of
any producer to hold back his
grain in anticipation of further
advances, for he will do so only
at his own cost of storage and in
terest, and if it is necessary for
the government to buy the whole
wheat harvest in order to main
tain this fair price in protection
of the producer we intend to do

Mills Must Be Licensed

Details of the wheat control
plan were explained by Mr.. Hoo
yer tonight in the following state
ment:
In order to eliminate specula-
ton in wheat and flour, all eleva-
yatorS and mills over 100 barrels
daily capacity will be required to
take out a government license,
and the conditions of this license
to be that only reasonable and
customary charges shall be made
for warehouse service; that no
wheat shall be stored for more
than thirty days without the ap-
proval of the food administration;
that certain information as to re-
ceips and shipments shall be sup
piled regularly. The grain ex-
changes are being asked to sus.
pend all dealings and quotations
in future wheat. These regula-
tions will come into force Sep
tember l, and the licenses will be
prepared this week.
While the farmers co-opera-
tive elevators are excepted by
the food bill, this, however, ap-
plies only to mutual concerns and
not to stock companies, and in
any event under the advantages
of joining the plan none is likely
to stand out.
