Farms Contributing Men /.
"The farmer is also contributing
men to the army, and am keenl,
alive to the sacrifices involved. Out
of 13,S00,000 men engaged in farm
industries, 2O5,00O have been drafted,
or about 1.48 per cent of the whole
number. In addition to these there
have been volunteers, and the farmers
have lost considerable number of
laborers because the wages paid in
industrial pursuits drew them away.
In order to relieve the farming indus
try as far as possible from further

DOESN'T DOUBT LOYALTY
Chief Executive In Message to
Farmers Tells How Much
Depends On Them
DOESN'T DOUBT LOYALTY

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 20
Pres. Wilson Saturday raised the
government guaranteed price for
the 1918 wheat crop as high as
1928 a bushel in one primary mar
ket and in varying sums in all
other primary markets except
four. The Chicago price was put
at 1920.
Acting under authority of the
food law, the president thus met
the agitation in congress for high.
err prices and took steps to stimu-
late production and prevent hold
ing back the crop while the agi
tatlon was going on.
The equivalents of No. / northern to
which the same price applies are No.
l hard winter, No. l red winter, No. |
durum and No. 1 hard white. The
wheat must be harvested in the Unit
ed States during 1918 and sold in the
market before June l, 1919. The pres
ident's proclamation states that the
action is to meet an emergency re-
quiring the stimulation of wheat plant
ing.
Wilson's Statement
In statement accompanying his
proclamation the president said:
Under the food control act of
August 10, 1917, it is my duty to an
nounce guaranteed price for wheat
of the 1918 harvest. I am, therefore,
issuing proclamation setting the
price at the principal interior primary
markets. 1t makes no essential alter
alton in the present guarantee. 1t is a
continuation of the present price Of
wheat, with some adjustments arising
from the designation of additional ter
minal marketing points.
"This guaranteed price assures the
farmer of reasonable profit even il
the war should end within the year
and the large stores of grain in those
sections of the world that are now
cut off from transportation should
again come into competition with his
products. To increase the price OF
wheat above the present figure, or to
agitate any increase of price, would
have the effect of very seriously ham
pering the large operations of the ma
ton and of the allies by causing the
wheat of last years crop to be with
held from the market It would, more.
over, dislocate all the present wage
levels that have been established after
much anxious discussion, and would,
therefore, create an Industrial unrest
which would be harmful to every in
dustry In the country.
Decent Doubt Loyalty
Il know the spirit of our farmers,
and have not the least doubt as to the
LOYALTY with which they will accept
the present decision. The tall wheat
planting, which furnishes two-thirds
81 our wheat production, took place
with no other assurance than this, and
the farmers confidence Was demon.

Anxious to Cooperate
"The department of agriculture and
the food administration will continue
to cooperate as heretofore to assist
the farmers in every way possible
All questions of production, of the
mark citing of farm products, of con-
servation in the course of production,
and of agricultural labor and farm
problems generally, will be handled
by the department OF agriculture;
while all questions Of distribution of
food supplies to the allies and of con-
servAtiOn in consumption will be han
died by the food administrations; but
the chief reliance is upon the farmer
himself. and am sure that that re-
lance will be justified by the results.
The chief thing to be kept clearly in
mind is that regulations of this sort
are only part of the great general
plan of mobilization into which every
element in the nation enters in this
war as in no other. The business of
war touches everybody. tits stern
business, cooperative business, a
business of energy and sacrifice, a
business of service in the largest and
best and most stirring sense of that
great word
Two Objects in View
In fixing a price now for the new
crop, which will not be harvested un.
til June, the president was believed
to have had two objects in view. The
first was to halt legislation pending
in congress to fix prices at from 1925
to $500 and the other was to stimulate
spring planting.
The introduction Of the price rails
ing bills had begun to check the flow
of wheat to market and food admins.
tration officials feared that mills soon
would have to close down. Hoping the
legislation would pass, farmers, it is
declared, have been refusing to sell
at the present price OF 1920.
In enacting the food control law
congress put guaranteed price of 81
on next seasons crop and this has
been construed as minimum price.
To draw wheat to market the presi-
dent fixed price Of $3.50 on last sea-
sons yield, and it had this effect until
the price.raising bills were introduced.
Then the flow began to stop.
Food administration officials have
declared that il the bills passed the
government would be forced to raise
present prices to new levels and that
to do so would upset the food admins
tration's flour and bread program.

The Price Of Sugar.

The wholesale price of sugar
advanced so that the retailers
can no longer sell at 10 cents,
and under the uncertainty of the
market it is impossible to fix a
price that will fit all the county.
There is a way, however, that
the retailer can stay within the
law and arrive at the correct
price. The Food Administration
permits the retailer to make a
profit of one cent per pound on
sugar This price is arrived at
by adding / cent to the wholesale
price of the sugar and adding the
freight, Nothing else can be ad-
ded. Rents, insurance, nor 9TH
er overhead exposes can not be
figured in. Nor can paper bags,
twine, etc. Just add the freight
and l cent to the cost and you
have it. If the sugar costs you
1913 a pound and the freight is
40 cents a hundred you figure it
this way:
Wholesale price, .... =. 1914
Freight an 40c a hundred. A
Profit of 1c a pound. ..01.
Price to consumer. 1l.S
This is eleven and four-fifth
cents pound, and the price the
sugar must be sold at under the
above cost, and would not author
ize the selling at II cents nor at
1917. The sugar must be sold at
not more than one cent a pound
above cost and freight.
