Farmers Deny
Wheat Combine
Will Be Formed

Chicago, Nov. 17.-"The farmers
marketing committee of seventeen
has not adopted plan for marketing
wheat, nor has 1t even discussed the
details of such plan," says q state
ment issued from the American Farm
Bureau federation office, in COM
menting on the report from Wash
ington that the committee was about
to float giant wheat combine.
THE committee of seventeen was
appointed to study grain marketing
and work out a plan to prevent vio-
lent fluctuations OF prices, which are
q detriment to both consumer and
producer" the statement says. mo
member OF the committee has sug-
gested the formation of a grain COM
bine' or trust The federal trade
commission has not been asked for
advice as to the formation Of any
combine Mr.. Huston Thompson of
the commission gave the committee
at q recent meeting an outline Of the
commissions objection to the plan
of organization of the California
raisin growers. but did not discuss
grain marketing in any way.
"The question OF handling the
grain crop Of 1921 thru combine
or contracting with growers to de-
liver their crops to such combine
has never been discussed by the
committee Of seventeen. No pro-
posal that the government be made
a party to any wheat combine has
been made by any member Of the
committee. In fact, the entire state
ment In the Washington dispatch Is
false and misleading and was evil

with the work and objects of the
committee Of seventeen.
1.-THE committee Of seventeen real
Ices that the public must not be ask
ed to pay inflated prices for grain,
and in any plan Of grain marketing
that may be proposed the interests
OF the public will be fully safeguard
ed. Unstable prices add to tho farm
er's expense Of doing business and
increase the cost Of food to the con-
sumner. If some means can be found
to keep grain prices on a fairly stable
basis both producing and handling
costs will be reduced and both pro-
Queer and consumer will benefit.
Unrestricted speculation In grain
benefits no one but the SPECTATOR.
The elimination Of undue speculation
will benefit the consumer as much
as the producer.
1.-THE committee Of seventeen be7
lieves, too, that any drop In wheat
prices should be passed on to the
consumer as quickly as possible, and
that there is something wrong in q

consumers to pay war prices for
bread when wheat Is selling for more
than dollar below war levels. It

conditions corn gathering can not be
finished In this state until the lat

ports.
Altho the average yield thruout
the state is 1916 bushels, according to
the federal crop estimate. unusual
yields are being recorded in many
sections. Yields around seventy
bushels per acre are not uncommon
and many reports are printed In state
newspapers of yields exceeding 100
bushels per acre,
Elevators are Offering only SO cents
per bushel for new ear corn at coun-
try points. which is not sufficient to
attract the grain to the market. Con-
siderable live stock is being bought
for feeding altho the stringency Of
the money market is holding this In
dustry down below normal.
From Walnut. In Cass county,
comes the report that bankers nave
advanced more money for buying
cattle than usual and there has been
a steady stream Of feeders coming
into that county. A similar report
comes from Audubon county where
farmers are buying feeding stock
where they can finance feeding. In
MONTGOMERY county considerable
