WHEAT PRICE At $3.50
President Has Already Ordered
$2.20 for 1918 Crop.
Passage of Section Proposed by Sena-
tor Gore Brings Senate in Con-
flict With President.

Washington.-The price of wheat to
the farmers was fixed at $3.50 per
bushel through the medium Of an
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill passed by the senate.
The amendment was adopted by the
vote Of 40 to Is, and the bill carrying
the amendment was then passed with
out a roll call. Total appropriations
carried in the bill amount to a little
over $2S,00O,00O
The adoption of the wheat price
fixing section was forced through the
senate over the opposition of the Pres
ident and Food Administrator Hoover.
Five days of the debate were devoted
to the section, which was proposed by
Senator Gore of Oklahoma. If the
house should agree to the section il
may mean that the President will find
it necessary to veto the bill and send
1t back to Congress for further con-
sideration.
The action of the senate brings a
sharp conflict between that body and
the President as to the price which
should be allowed to the producers for
the 1918 crop. The President has al
ready by executive order established
$2.20 as the basic price for wheat de.
livered in Chicago. This would mean
a smaller price to the producers at
their local markets. The senate price,
however, would guarantee to the farm
'er at his local market the price Of
$3.50 as the minimum.
The effect of the $3.50 price, if car.
ried out, would be to raise the price of
flour to the ultimate consumer, mas
much as the 81 20 price allows for trans
portation and commission charges,
while the $3.50 price does not.
The debate on the bill brought out
strong pleas to help the farmers by
guaranteeing him a price that would
make wheat raising worth while. Sen
ators Gore, McCumber, Gronna and
Reed, leading the fight for the $3.50
minimum price, declared that farmers
in the great wheat growing sections of
the west and northwest are turning to
more profitable crops on account of
the low price obtained for their crop
last year.
They contended that the country
will face shortage of wheat in the
coming year unless the producer is
guaranteed the higher price by way of
a bonus to raise larger crops.
A section designed to compel all
clerks in the agricultural department
to work eight hours a day, which was
Inserted in the bill in the house and
known as the Borland amendment, was
stricken from the bill by a vote of 40
to %.
