Heavyweight Loaf
Still 6 Months
in the Offing

By United Press:
CHICAGO, March THE old
champion of the table, the heavy
weight ten-cent loaf, may come back.
But his temperance may be de-
layed another six months, according
TO Chicago millers today.
This "come-b back" nillers said, is
possible under the operation of the
new wheat price guarantee law. The
main factors will be the familiar
team Of supply and demand" and
the speed with which the purchas-
ing committee, provided under the
guarantee law. begins work after ap-
pointment by the president.
"Six months more of current
prices for wheat products can be
counted upon" John w. Eckhart
Chicago miller, said today. "This
period will be necessary to permit
receipt and inventory Of the new
wheat crop. cataloguing Of the Eu-
ropean demand and TO start the ma
chincry Of the presidents commit
tee"
Eckhart said the wheat acreage
now IS extensive with prospects for
"a great crop. The European demand.
which might serve TO bolster up
prices will be affected somewhat by
Australian and Argentine crops.
However. these are not so large as
many believe now, he said.
"My understanding is that the
committee will protect the farmer
and the miller on their old stocks
as well as the new crop" said Eek
hart My belief is that it will pur-
chase all wheat old or new and re-
sell it at the market price. Old mill
stocks will, / believe, be purchased
at the protective price"
