Washington, Sept. 6.-The aver
age cost of wheat production was
estimated at $225 a bushel by e. H.
Thompson, acting chief of the bur
eau Of farm management, testifying
today before the senate agriculture
committee. Mr. Thompson said, how
ever, that most Of the wheat pro-
duced cost considerably less and
that even with a further increase of
10 per cent in costs, the farmers of
the central west should be able to
break even at the primary market
price Of $2.20 fixed by the President
for next years crop"
In the north central states the
cost for the crop year Of 1917 ran
from $50 to $3.50 a bushel, the
Committee was told, while for ma
jority of growers there the cost
ranged from $1.75 to $3.50 a bushel.
+"Then to stimulate production you
would have to fix the price above
that amount" asked Senator Norris
OF Nebraska, referring to the av-
efage cost Of $2.25 a bushel.
Most assuredly," was the reply.
Isn't the cost increasing con-
stantly and now at very rapid
rate?" the Nebraska senator again
asked.
Mr.. Thompson said from present
| indications the cost for the 1918 and
1919 crops would be much higher
He estimated the cost Of producing
the 1s17-191s crop was from 80 to
ES5 per cent greater than that dur
ing the pre-war period.
"Can wheat in the central west be
/ produced at a profit with the Chi
cago price fixed at $3.50 a bushel?'
asked Senator Norris.
Judging from information we
have and with normal conditions, the
bulk of the grain can be produced
at a profit"
Taking into consideration the
freight charges and grade of whea'
produced, Senator Norris called at
tention to the fact that to many
FARMERS in the central west $2.20 q
hushel at Chicago would mean only
a price of from $3.50 to 81 a bushe
to them. Mr. Thompson said. how.
ever, that Investigations made by
the department of agriculture show.
