that. while normal distribution Of all
our farm products has been subject
to great disturbances during the last
three years because of war condi-
tions, only two important commod-
tiles. namely, wheat and sugar, have
/ been so seriously affected as to re-
Quire governmental Intervention.
The disturbances which affect these
products land others in less degree)
arise from the fact that all of the ov-
er-SeaS shipping in the world is now
under Government control and that
the Government is obliged to assign
tonnage to each commodity that en-
tiers into commercial overseas traf-
fic. 1t has, consequently, been neccs-
sary to establish single agencies for
the purchase of the food supplies
which must go abroad. The purchase
of wheat in the United States for for
eign use is of so great volume in COM
parison with the available domestic
supply that the price of wheat has
been materially disturbed. and it be-
came necessary, in order to protect
both the producer and the consumer,
to prevent speculation. 1t was neces-
sary. therefore, for the Government
to exercise measure of direct super
vision and as far as possible to con-
troll purchases of wheat and the pro-
cesses of its expectation. This super
vision necessarily amounted to price
fixing. and |, therefore, thought it
fair and wise that there should be
price stated that should be at once
liberal and equitable.
Farmer Next to Soldier.
"ThOSe peculiar circumstances
governing the handling and consump-
ton of wheat put the sarmer at the
very center of war service. Next to
the soldier himself. he is serving the
country and the world and serving
it in a way which is absolutely fun.
damental to his own future safety
and prosperity. He sees this and can
be relied upon as the soldier can.
"The farmer is also contributing
men to the Army, and | am keenly
alive to the sacrifices involved. Out
of 13,S00,000 men engaged in farm
industries, 2O5.0O0 have been draft
ed, or about Las per cent of the
whole number. In addition to these
there have been volunteers, and the
farmers have lost a considerable
number of laborers because the
wages paid in industrial pursuits
drew them away. In order to relieve
the farming industry as far as possi-
BILE from further drains of labor the
new draft regulations have been
drawn with view to taking from the
farms an even smaller proportion of
men. and it is my hope that the local
exemption boards will make the new
classifications with a view of tighten
ing the load upon the farmers to the
utmost extent. The Secretary of
