Prices to BE Stabilized.
by the above arrangement, We be-
Ieye that we snail stabilize the price
q wheat throughout the year That
the hazard Of operation due 70 fuc-
.uatlng prices which are imposed up
On our milling and distributing com
munlty, VII be eliminated, and, there
tore, Their business can return 10 the
normal lines and the normal margins
Jf profit and that We shall not only
nave stabilized the price If wheat. but
stabilized the price Of -four, and that
! should enable us 70 arrive at a sta
Jiiized price Of bread.
''The food administration has the ,
patriotic cooperation Of the leading /
nnlerE of the country and these mill
rs have organized, at the request of
ne food administration, a committee
0 represent the entire trade. Detail ,
Q proposals for an agreed differential /
4 proht and expenses per barrel Of
our and per ton Of feed, are under i
discussion. Under these arrange z
lents the public will be assured an I
quitable and stabilized price Of -four g
ased upon the cost Of raw material,
nd we confidently expect the yolun- \
eer arrangement with the mills which I
I'll give satisfaction 70 the public. v
Consumption TO Be Cut. c
"The universal endeayor over the q
)untTy 70 reduce consumption Of
neat breadstuffs, in order that we {,
Iay have the requisite exports with Q
hich 70 carry the allies over the .
,rthcoming winter, will result in a =
-rgely increased amount Of wheat
for export. II it were ex- o.
1rted as wheat, it will result in d. g
mutton Of employment in our mills, IL

supply Of mill feed for our dairy ?
title Therefore, the food admins n
alton will stipulate for larger pro- c.
triton Of export Of -four instead of II
heat, and as the export orders for m
'ur will be given, subject 10 the ap- N
oval Of the food administration, "A
ose mills who cooperate with the NJ
ADMINISTRATION will be given the bene- z
Of the experts employment. q
by thus encouraging the home pro- II
ction Of -four, the manufacturing "a

e American public will receive ind. nC
ct benefit in lowered margins of gi
