FARMERS May
WAIT FOR FAIR
PRICE ON WHEAT
Do Not Have to Sell to Local
Elevators at a Reduced
Price, Says Mr..
WattIeS.

Farmers who hold their wheat un-
til they are offered a fair price by
local buyers or until they can get
cars to move the grain to the Grain
corporation will not be considered
unpatriotic, according to a statement
issued by Gurdon w. Wattles, fed
eral food administration for Ne
braska.
The heavy movements of wheat
have made it difficult at times for
farmers to get cars. The shipments
this year have been greater than ever
before. Between July and August
% the movement of wheat to pri-
mary markets aggregated l0S, $780, 900
bushels, nearly four times as much
as during the same period last year
In addition, heavy shipments of corn
and oats have intensified the car
shortage.
With these conditions obtaining, it
is reported that some elevators have
attempted to take advantage by re-
ducing the price offered for wheat.
Farmers have not cared to take this
reduced price, nor have they wanted
to appear unpatriotic in not selling,
hence the statement by Mr.. Wattles.
To remedy the condition, the food
administration is now collecting data
upon which will be based a fair re-
Enumeration for country elevators,
dealers or operators to receive.
Farmers who are able to get cars
are protected by the United States
Grain corporation in that they can
Immediately ship and get the price
fixed by the government. But where
farmers are unable to get cars, the
best alternative, advises Wattles, is
to store the grain until they are Of
fered fair prices.
When wheat is stored, either on
the farm or in elevators, it should
not be mixed with last years crop,
warns Wattles

everything essential would remain

According to our conviction all
