Farmers TO Benefit
By Wheat Guarantee
GOVERNMENT WILL STAND BY
WAR PROMISE OF $2.26 A BU-
Shell FOR 1919 WHEAT.
WILL COST HALF BILLION.
GOVERNMENT MUST COMPLETE
WITH CHEAPER WHEAT FROM
THE FOREIGN COUNTRIES

The keeping of Uncle Sans war
promises to his farmers is going to
cost 100000 and perhaps more.
1t will take this amount TO pay the
difference between the market price
of the forecast 1,OO0.000,OO0 bushels
1919 wheat crop and the price of 1925
set by the president during war time,
Chairman A F. Lever of the house
agricultural committee estimated.
The farmers will hardly have a
kick coming on this for it means a
half billion for them II 1919 which
they would not get under the regular
market conditions. It came about in
this way. Many months ago the pres
ident made a proclamation guarantee
ing the wheat price for the crop of
1919 al 1926 per bushel at the Chica-
go wheat market. No doubt it was
then expected that the war might end
during the summer of 1919, perhaps
even before the new crop would actu-
ally be put on the market but it was
argued by the food administration
that even if that should be the case the
crop would be put in and harvested
under abnormal war conditions with

labor very scarce and wages high. Be
sides there was the urgeAt necessity
of encouraging large wheat produc-
ton for fear the war would run into
the year 1920. However, the war
ended sooner than the Government
agencies dared plan on and conditions
are. expected to gradually resume nor
nal during the year but Uncle Sam
thinks too much of his word to try
to back down now under the plea that
the war IS over before the crop is put
in.
sThe United States cannot compete
with the rest of the world with 1925
wheat and it can hardly sell when a
much lower price is justified by the
world market conditions" the house
agricultural committee announces and
some method must be devised to keep
both the domestic and foreign markets
running smoothly under conditions of
a guaranteed price in competition
with cheaper wheat.
Therefore, congress is expected to
extend the life of the United States
Grain corporation to handle the wheat
market and increase its capital from
$150, 100000 to about $500, 600, 900 in
order that Jhe government agency
may have sufficient funds to absorb
the loss between the buying and sell
ing price.
Indications point to the sowing of
$4,000, 1000 acres of wheat which should
yield billion bushels under normal
conditions. OF that amount about
600,OOO,OOO bushels can be used at
home.
