ANNOUNCES PLAN
FOR CONTROL OF
1917 HARVEST
To Obtain Just Prices for
American Public, Fight
ing Forces and Allies
BUYING AGENCIES
AT TERMINALS
Licensing of Elevators and
Mills and Regulation of
Grain Exchanges
DIV Associated Press.l

Washington, Aug. 13.--The food
administration announced last night
its plan for controlling wheat, flour
and bread, revealing that the govern
ment is prepared to take over the
whole 1917 wheat harvest il neces-
sary to conserve the supply, obtain
just prices for Americas fighting
forces and their allies and reduce
costs to the American public.
Establishing OF buying agencies at
all the principal terminals, licensing
of elevators and mills. fixing of a
price to be considered fair, regula-
ton of the middlemen and of grain
exchanges with the elimination of
trading in futures, are the chief fea-
lures of the plan: The licensing will
begin Sept. /.
The minimum price OF 81 for wheat
fixed by congress does not become
effective until next year, but the ad-
ADMINISTRATION proposes to exercise a
very. thorough control over this
years crop through powers conferred
under the food and expert control
bills.
Following is the Administrations
announcement:
Markets Greatly Disrupted.
The disturbance to the worlds
commerce and short supplies has
caused a greater disruption of the
normal markets for wheat than any
other cereal.
'1-As a result Of the isolation of
certain of the worlds wheat produc-
ing countries the normal determine
ton of the price Of wheat by the ebb
and flow Of commerce is totally de-
stroyed.
"2-In order to control speculation
and to secure more equitable distri-
button of the available wheat and
flour between their countries, the al
lied governments hive placed the
whole purchase of their supplies in
the hands of one buyer. Also the
European neutrals are now buying
their wheat through single govern
ment agents instead of in the normal
course of commerce. Therefore, the
export price of wheat and -four, and
thus the real price, If not controlled,
will be subject to almost a single
will Of the foreign purchaser.
In normal times, American
wheat moves largely to Europe in
the fall months. This year, the
shortage Of shipping necessitates its
distribution over the entire year.
Therefore, there is danger of a glut
in our warehouse system over a con-
Siderable period.
4-There are large stocks Of
wheat which cannot be drawn upon
by the allies during the war, but in
the event Of peace or defeat of the
submarines, these would be available
and might seriously demoralize the
demand for American wheat.
"5-It must be clearly understood
that the guaranteed minimum price
of So per bushel for wheat, set out
in the food bill. does not apply to
the 1917 harvest. but only to the 1918
harvest, and then under conditions
which must be elaborated. There is
therefore no determined price for the
1917 harvest.
Government Must Act.
The result of this situation is that
the normal price-making machinery
is entirely broken down unless some
