Change Would Upset the Plans Of Fooe
Program.
Washington, Aug. ,19.-The recent
victory board for 2. government guar.
anteed minimum Of $246 bushel fol
the 1919 wheat crop and continued agi-
tation in congress for an Increased
wheat price are causing food admins
tration officials considerable ,concern..
All International plans for American
participation in contributing to tho
food supply OF allied and neutral ma
tons, it Is declared, are being made
ON, the assumption that pthe government
guaranteed minimum price for wheat
will remain where 1t now Is, at $2.20 u
bnshel. To change the price, 1t is, ar
gued, will greatly ambarrass the plans
Another phase Of the situation for tae
farmer to consider 1t, ia pointed out
here. is the prospect that the war might
end next year. AS, It is, today the only
big purchasing power Tor wheat in the
United States Is the food administra-
ton. II the war ends that purchasing
power will be gone, It's influence over
the rparlsets will be gone. and govern
mentf guaranteed prices will disappear;
What the condition might be should
the war end withip a year or a year
from next fall was emphasized today
by an official in intimate touch with the
situation. ~
I'VE have In this country today. or
will have. a surplus. of 200.008.000
bushels from the 1918 wheat CROP
he said, There is now stored in In
sdia and Australia 100000 900 bushels
Of wheat at a guaranteed price OF 95
cents bushel. In addition to this
there must be taken into consideration
the Argentine wheat. which is far
below the, American government price.
Should the war emu afl this wheat will
be released, there will be no American
minimum guarahte and the wheat mar
ket next year would be- smashed COM
pletely. ~
THE DANGER to the farmer Is that
there may be no wheat guaranty at
all next year If the agitation for this
increase keeps up. The farmer, in
my estimation, ehould5be content to
let the government Guaranty for the
1919 crop remain where - is now"
