WHEATBUMPER;.
MONEY SCARCE
Government Corporation
May Be Unable to Meet
Its Guarantee.

Inquiries are coming in to the Food
Administration and Grain Corporation
asking what the government expects
to do regarding the guaranteed price
for the 1913 wheat crop.
Both government agencies are forced
to reply they do not know. The crop
has been guaranteed on a 500 basis.
s2-2S at Chicago and s2.3sia in New
York. but the Grain Corporation,
which is handling the 1918 crop, is a
creation Of the Lever act, and goes
out OF existance on the declaration of
peace. or on July l, when the 1918 crop
movement shall have been completed.
Attorneys of the Food Administra-
tion who have Investigated its stand
ing have reported that it will have no
authority to handle the 1919 crop. with
peace declared in the meanwhile.
The 1918 wheat price guarantee was
a contract between the Grain Cor
poration and the producers so the
Grain Corporation must continue 20
July 1 to clean it up, even though
peace should be declared before: but
! the 1919 guarantee is. so far, only a
Congressional enactment, or a con-
tract on the part of the government
and not a contractural obligation OF
the Grain Corporation. 1t therefore
will not extend the life of the Grain
Corporation beyond the handling of
the harvest of this year.
Relying on the governments guar
antee of a s2.26 price (Chicago) on the
1919 crop, American farmers have sow
ed the greatest acreage in their his
tory to wheat. Fifty million acres
have been sown to winter wheat, and
Is. 100000 are expected to be sown to
spring. This will give a total of 75.-
700 acres of wheat in 1919. In 1918
the acreage was 100000 acres.
On the basis of fifteen bushels to
the acre and at the guaranteed price,
the value of the crop, II there were
no winter kill. would be s., ,537, 500, 900.
Even allowing for an excessive winter
kill the crop should be valued at in
excess of s225. 900. .OO0. 900.
And the farmers now want to know
how the government expects to meet
the guarantee of price. Argentine
wheat is now selling at S1.35 and Aus
tralian at s1.C3. If the prices in
those countries hold low again next
year and there is no government
agency, such as the Grain Corpora
ton. to handle the American crop the
producer doesn't see clearly how he
is to get the s2.26 the government has
promised.
The Grain Corporation now has a
revolving fund of sl5O.O0O,OOO with
which it is handling the 1918 crop
But with the Food Administration
and export control gone with peace,
and the new crop coming in. the ad-
ministration fears the sudden dump
ing of at least a Quarter of the crop
on the market as soon as it comes in.
This would require a fund of between
$500, 100000 and 500. 10000 to handle at
the guaranteed price.
