Wheat Ass;Ssss':E'Sssy < ~
Updike Praises Work of
Omahans to Stabilize Mar
ket for Benefit of
Grain Growers.
Says Plan Well Directed

Nelson 3. Updike, president of the
Updike Grain corporation, asserted
that the work of the special commit
tee Of the Omaha Chamber of Com
merce is meeting with real results in
its efforts to stabilize the wheat mar
ket. He stated that no similar move
ment within his memory has been so
intelligently directed to the end Of
aiding the farmers, in this instance
particularly the wheat growers.
Mr.. Updike takes an optimistic
view Of the situation and gives his
reasons.
IT understand that where farmers
are feeding wheat cheaper than corn,
they are wisely doing So" he said.
IF 1t turns out that any particular
amount of wheat has been fed. event
ually it will have a telling effect on
the price of wheat.
Sell Part OF What.
Generally spes king, what I can
gather is that the farmers are sellIpnt
only part of their wheat becaues of
lack Of storage facilities on the farms.
All farmers able to hold back any
part of their wheat will themselves
get the benefit of any advance in the
price. no matter what causes the ad-
vance.
ut appears, and II Is the general
belief. that the next government re-
port will show that there has been
many millions of bushels less OF
wheat raised than was indicated in
the last report.
There has been more publicity
given to the efforts made, not only
by the farmers themselves, but by
business organizations-efforts really
intended to help the wheat raisers-
than has been given TO any other
movement to boost the price of wheat.
The intention Of this movement has
really been to see that the farmer
himself gets the benefit, and no other
| have seen has had such
an intention SO clearly defined and so
earnestly observed.
Sees Profit in Consumption.
'In 1915, according to the report Of
the United States Department of Ag
riculture. there was consumed or re-
tained in the United States s00.0 .00o,-
900 bushels of wheat.,s s.and during
1920 the total was 775, ,8oO. 900 bushels.
II we can do the same thing this
year. the price Of wheat could be ad
vanced very materially, even though
We did not export any. We have not
raised to exceed oo.0o0,0o0 bushels
this year.
I'VE are exporting some wheat all
the time. IL the price Of corn stays
up so the farmer can feed his wheat
more profitably than corn. II he is
careful about his acreage next year.
and labor keeps employed as II is to-
day. there Will be no reason why
wheat will not advance without any
artificial assistance at all.
"All Of these movements. such as
Eat more bread Buy bag or bar
rel OF -four Buy thousand
bushels Of wheat Feed wheat when
you can get 1t cheaper than corn or
obtain a lower freight rate on export
grain, IL possible. will help the situa-
tion.
but wheat is liable TO help itself.
especially II labor keeps employed"
