FIGHT ON $3.50 WHEAT
STAGED IN HOUSE
President, With Hoover and
Agricultural Department,
Will Oppose Senate Action
ashington. March 90.

President Wilson. Herbert Hoover
and the Agriculture Department are
preparing for a battle royal with Con-
gress on the Presidents wheat prices.
Following Senate action in boosting
the minimum wheat price to $3.50. Ad-
minstration leaders in the House today
were busy lining up followers TO strike
this from the Senate agriculture bill.
The President is expected to make
his views of the Senate action clear
Immediately in q letter to House Agri-
culture Committee members.
Meantime, Agriculture Department
experts say the II 900, 900 farmers, upon
whom the nation is counting to raise
win-the-war crops. have the best chance
in history to make money. Figures
collected by the department show that
the farmers income from the ten lead
ing staples has been increased ia per
cent over his income from the same
staples during the five-year pre-war
period At the same time the cost OF
farm operations, these experts say, has
increased only about so per cent.
During 1918 the nations $500, 900
farmers should clear per cent on
their Investments. as against per
cent peace time profit, after deducting
wages and farm management costs, 1t
is held.
The additional 1 per cent the farmer
should make this year represents his
chance to double his ordinary profits.
However, experts agree it will take
careful management to do it because
operating costs will probably continue
to soar.
A bitter fight In the House on the
price fixed in the Senate in opposition
TO President Wilson has been planned.
Chairman Lever, of the House Agricul-
ture Committee, will fire the opening
gun for the Administration early next
week, when he will move to take the
bill from the Speakers table and send
IL to conference.
Representatives from wheat growing
States want the $3.50 price to stand
Led by Representative Sloan, of Ne
braska. they will attempt to prevent
specific instructions to the House con-
ferees il Levers plan TO send the bill
to conference succeeds
AS an alternative move, Administra-
tion leaders will seek to have the pill
returned to the House Agriculture Com
nittee with instructions to report to the
House on the Senate price-fixing amend
ment This will open the way for fight
over wheat prices on the floor.
Administration leaders, in the House
yant TO keep the price at $3.50 as fixed
hv president Wilson or at least to fix a
nrjce lower than the $3.50 named by
the Senate. A bill fixing the price of
the 1918 crop at s2.75. introduced by
/ Representative Steenerson, OF Minnesota,
will remain in committee, and the price,
aging fight will come on the agricul-
| tural appropriation bill.
