Fletcher Would Cut
Freight Rate on Wheat

A plan for the relief Of the wheat
farmer was promulgated TO-DAY by
Senator Duncan Y. Fletcher I'D, OF
Florida, in letter to the Shipping
Board urging that body to reduce
ocean freight rates on wheat.
The letter also suggested that the
Shipping Board draw upon the
reserve fleet" in order to provide
sufficient !, tonnage to move the
wheat.
Pointing out that an enormous
crop and carryover will necessitate
a large expectation, which will tend
to make freight rates high, the let
ter declared that reduction of 2
or 3 cents per bushel by the Ship
ping Board would be of enormous
advantage to the farmer.
