WOULD EXTEND TIME
FOR OYSTER DREDGING

A concerted movement. suppc sedly
backed by the National Grange, is now
under way TO have the government re-
tain the minimum price for wheat, and
resolution introduced by Senator
Mish. OF Washington county. not only
strongly urges that this be done, but
that at grain corporation be appoint
ed. the members OF which VIII be men
friendly 10 the farmer
Senator Mish. himself a farmer, Ge
clares that under the war provisions
he has been producing wheat at loss
and that if the financial conditions
grow worse and the prices sink below
the present rate. not only Will pro
duction be limited bur the wheat rails
ing farmers viii be threatened by fl
nancial disaster
In the preamble it is set forth that
inasmuch as according to the newer
political economy it has been deemed
wise and benefcent to fix minimum
prices for wages. salaries and farm
products, and. whereas, under tbs
scale OF prices fixed for whea; and
pork the American farmer has suffer
ed a loss OF not less than 50 600 000-
600 during the past three years, and by
reason OF threatening financial clouds
wheat may sink to even lower levels
it is highly desirable to stabilize the
price to the farmer.
Unless this is done for the next
three years the producer, it is claim
ed, faces bankruptcy and distress
Congress is~therefore asked to con
tinue the fixed minimum price OF $2.26,
for the reason that. this was imposed
when the farmer did not ask il and
did not need IT, 1t must now appeal
to the most elementary sense OF jus
tice TO fix it when they do want il and
may need it.
The resolution then asks that the
present United States Grain Corpora
ton be dissolved and one more friend
ly to the farmer be named. Copies Of
the resolution are asked to be sent 20
Maryland's representatives in Con-
