PRICE FOR 1919 CROP
OF WHEAT is FIXED
President Sets Price at 1920 and
Says Government Risks Half
Billion IL Peace Should Come

BY proclamation issued Monday
President Wilson set $22O a bushel
as the minimum price guaranteed by
the government for the 1919 wheat
crop.
A disinterested commission, the
president stated, will be appointed
next spring to see whether the in
creased cost of farm labor and sup
plies would justify an increase above
that price.
Possibility of peace before the mid
die of 1920 was indicated in a memo
randum written by the president and
accompanying the proclamation, as a
factor in determination of the presi-
dent to maintain the present price
for the 1919 crop.
I'm giving a guaranteed price for
wheat one year in advance (the
only industry guaranteed by the gov
ernment) there is involved a consid-
cradle national risk the president
said.

LOAN FOR
FOREST FIRE FIGHTING

A loan OF $1,000.000 has been
made to the Forest Service from the
Presidents special defense fund to
meet the unprecedented danger OF
fires in the national forests of the
Northwestern and Pacific Coast states.
Forestry officials regard the pres
ent fire season in the Northwest as
being in some ways the most serious
with which the government ever had
to deal. Early drought, high winds,
electrical storms. labor shortage and
depletion of the regular protective
force because of the war have COM
bined to intensity the fire danger
Timber necessary for war industries
is in hazard.
Resort to the Presidents specia
defense fund was necessary because
the 191s-1919 appropriation bill fol
the Department OF Agriculture has
not yet been passed by Congress-.

CONSERVATION DIVISION
REDUCES vARIETIE

When you go to the store nova
days to buy cloth or shoes or a bed.
or plow or an automobile tire. you
should not be surprised or disap-
pointed II you do not find as great
variety to choose from as in the
past. The conservation division Of
the war industries board is respon-
sible for this condition.
This division has reduced already
the number of sizes of automobile
tires from 2S7 to 33 and more are
to be cut from time to time. Over
1000 sizes and types of plows and
ti'lage implements that can be spar
ed without hardship 20 the farmers
lave been eliminated In accordance
with the plans worked out by the
oi,sci yation divisions.
This means that the manufactur

throughout the country will be great
ly reduced This program OF elm
ination. moreover. is making 1t pos
sible for the steel mills to turn ou
their product more rapidly and thu
the production of steel for ships ant

There will be only 80 styles O

WILSON CONINfENDS WORK
OF STATE DEFENSE COUNCILS

The work OF the state councils
the country that II has drawn pub
lie commentator from President
Wilson with an accompanying sug-
gestion that its unique and wide
spread organization be utilized by all
government departments and agen-
cies so far as practical.
Secretary Baker. chairman of the
council of national defense. which
brought the state councils into exist
ence, reported to the president: 1T
IL difficult to estimate the import
ance OF the service rendered. since
our entrance into the war, by these
state councils, their county councils
and the multitude of workers band
ed together under them. whom we
estimate to number at least one mil
lion. II feel sure that you, Mr.. Pres
ident, as their commander in chief.
will be proud OF their unique contri-
button In the war and will use your
authority to broaden the scope of
their activities as conditions permit
so that they may go on to still great
er achievements"
The state councils. says Secretary
Baker. have active county. or equiv
alent, councils of defense under them
while In nearly every state the or
ganization OF community councils in
the schools districts bringing the
government to the people and the
people to the government. is pro-
crossing rapidly.
The president replied: II shall be
glad to have you express to the state
councils my appreciation OF the serv.
ices they have so usefully rendered
am particularly struck by the value
OF extending our defense organization
into the smallest communities and
by the truly democratic character oi
a national system so organized.
believe in the soundness OF your con
tention that in the interest of econ
omy and efficiency such -machiner,
as that provided by the state counci
system for the execution of man,
kinds OF war work should be utilized
as far as possible by federal depart
ments and administrations"
