 The President by section of the food control bill recently enacted. may if it becomes necessary, establish a price for all grain produce, price at which the government in the absence of other pur- chasers, will acquire all surplus.
 This section is not mandatory, and it is quite probable that the President, save in the moment of gravest emergency, will hesitate to exercise the authority conferred. It is regarded as probanie that corn will be able to take care of itself. and wheat. specifically mentioned in the food bill, is assured of a market at s2 per bushel.
