In fixing a price now for the new

have had two objects in view. The first
was to halt legislation pending in con-
gress to fix prices at from $2.25 to SO

planting.
The introduction of the price raising
bills had begun to check the flow of
wheat to market and food administra-

legislation will be passed farmers, it is
declared, have been refusing to SCH 1T
