WEAT AND CORN is NOW AT
HIGHEST,

Raleigh,-North Carolina farmer
who are holding last seasons wheat
ind corn for prices above those that
are ruling at present are warned By
State Food Administrator Henry A.
Page that they are taking an exceed.
ingly long chance. Mr.. Page has made
two trips to Washington in the inter-
ear OF North Carolina wheat growers
end roller mills and as a result Of his
efforts the wheat grower is getting a
considerable advance over the price
that he would have gotten otherwise,
hence, Mr.. Pages good faith in his
present warning to the farmers cannot
be discounted
The situation with regard to wheat
and corn is this:
Through the activities of the U s..
Grain Corporation, the price of wheat
has been stabilized at 1920 per bushel,
Chicago basis. Mills are unable to
secure any except local wheat except
through the Grain Corporation; and
elevators, and dealers and farmers
having no market at a higher figure
are selling almost altogether to or
through the Grain Corporation. 30. re-
CARELESS OF any shortage or other con-
dition which ordinarily might lead to
high prices, the price OF wheat is no
more likely to advance than the price
Of sugar. In fact, a maximum Of $12 so
per barrel has beea fixed upon -four
and this doesn't allow a higher price
for wheat than that which is ruling a:
present in North Carolina.
As for corn: The price OF corn va
ries at different points in North Caro-.
lima and the United States from 81 .25
to $500 per bushel. This variation ia
due entirely to the congested condi-
ton Of the railroads Corn for March
delivery in New York and Chicago is
selling 1t 1924 per bushel, notwitr-
standing the fact that cash corn is
selling around SLIT. AS the railroad
conditions are cleared the variation
in prices will disappear and corn viii
probably be steadied for the season
at somewhere around $3.50 per hushel.

ministration feel that the farmer who
makes his crops by the sweat of his
brow IL entitled to every consideration
insofar as the marketing Of his crops
Is concerned. Absolutely no restriC
tons have been placed upon him as to
time or prices at which he shall sell
The truth is that the farmers comprise
the only class in the country that has
