FARMERS TO RECEIVE
GREAT PRICE FOR CROP

Dallas. Tex. Jan 22--Advices re-
ceived this afternoon from the gov
eminent indicate that the farmers Of
this country are likely TO receive more
than s1.0oo.0Oo.000 excess on the mar
ket price Of wheat as a result Of the
government guarantee OF price. While
all figures are approximate It is not
unlikely that the wheat growers OF
the Eleventh federal district will re-
ceive about s2O.000.0O0 TO $4,000. 600
more for their wheat than they would
have done had there been no govern
ment guarantee
This situation VIII be brought
about By peace and the consequent
opening up OF the worlds market and
the worlds shipping. which all tends
naturally 10 reduce the price. Frank
n smith. federal district director Of
war loans, expressed himself strongly
that both as a patriotic and business
measure the wheat growers OF the
southwest should invest this great
sum Of money IN bonds OF the Victory
Liberty loan.
