The price of wheat Is likely to be-
come very interesting subject, judg-
ing from the communications that are
sent to congress- Senator Owen had
n letter from Oklahoma read to the
senate not long ago stating the posi-
ton of the wheat farmers and COM
planning that the farmers who had
been able to hoard their wheat were
going to get better prices now than
those who sold some time ago. The
letter was eouehed in homely phrase
and badly written. and seemed to fur
nish amusement to quite n number OF
senator's. but Il conveyed just what
the farmer meant. The question nat
urally arises whether other farmers
are not thinking along the same lines.

getting NIL they ought TO have on ac-

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Westinghouse seems to be abso-

warnings to the American people about
the saving of food. And yet. so far
as observation goes in the national
capital there has been no very great
attempt to curtail the use of food
stuffs, except SO as to comply with
the requests made by Food Admins
traitor Hoover in regard to meatless
and wheatless days. There is still In
sight in the markets and the stores
plenty of supplies, apparently, and as
long as money Is quite free the peo-
pie are likely to buy those supplies.
While Mr.. Hoover issues Il note OF
alarm from time TO time, the real
scare has reached congress. and par
ticularly those senator's and repre-
sentatives who have been Investigate
ing the food situation The members
of the agricultural committee of the
senate have been really alarmed by
statements which have been made be-
fore them, which so far have not reach
ed the general public. Several of the
senators are particularly anxious about
the meat supply, and Senator Kenyon
of Iowa, who has given a great deal
of attention TO the subject. feels that
there will be meat famine In the
United States within Il year. even II
every possible means should be adopt
ed To Increase the supply.
The people have not paid enough
attention to production" is the con-
clusion of Senator Kenyon.
