about the price Of wheat next summer.
J. c. Mohler, secretary of the board

inquiries about the price of wheat
next year on account of the signing
of the armistice and the probability

ton: THE Presidents proclamation
of September 1918, stated that the
producers of wheat produced within
the United States, for the crop of 1919,
are guaranteed the prices therein set
forth, $2.26 per bushel at Chicago, and
the end of war, the proclamation of
peace, does not in any way affect this
guarantee. The guarantee for the
1919 wheat crop expires June 1. 1920"

was certain from the attitude OF the
