Chicago. Sept. 1s-Complaints that the
farmer is holding the bag Of prosperity
and that every other person is forced to
drop something into 1t or starve were
emphasized with the arrival of 1000 master
bakers here to attend their annual con-
vention.
The baker does not hesitate to say
that Congress has passed such laws and
that the food commission has fxed such
prices that the farmer is the dominant
person in the fight against high prices.
The fixing of wheat at $2.20 a bushel. un-
dreamed of few years ago. with a mini
mum price Of 81 a bushel for 1918. they de-
clare. not only boosts the price Of flour to
the neghborhood of $12 barrel retail,
but places the consumer ct the mercy Of
the farmer. who IL even now holding back
his grain crop for a higher price.
Millers assert they are unable to get
enough wheat to grind because the farm
ers are boarding. while exporters assert
| that the eastern seaboard is free OF wheat
and that unless the farmers let go of their
crops the supply to the allies will be down

On top of these conditions the milk
producers are preparing to demand a

against it. With the price of milk ad-
vancing, butter prices have shot sky

more than 80 cents a pound retail ir
Chicago-a hitherto unheard of price
at this time of year.
Reports from many communities are
that farmers are refusing to dig po'
tatoes or harvest other vegetables ol
fruit crops unless they are guaranteed
prices far In excess of what they hav'
received before. Some dealers repor
that farmers in certain localities arr
