By Maryland Dealers
Agency to Sell at S1.l4
A BusheI From Cors,
BIondford Reveals

Declaring that many feed dealers
in Maryland are selling Govern
ment wheat to farmers at prices
higher than authorized by Congress,
James H. Blandford, State Agrlcul-
tural Adjustment Agency chair
man, today said steps are being
taken to make Government wheat
available to State livestock feeders
at $114 bushel at the car. and
SLIT bushel at the warehouse.
Mr.. Blandford said complaints
from farmers that some dealers in
all sections of the State are collect
ing from Sll5 to s210 bushel for
Government wheat have been veri-
fed. He said that where dealers fail
to sell wheat at the Government
prices, AAA Offices have been au-
thorized to distribute wheat directly
from the cars or from Government
bins.
Mr.. Blandford said the survey by
Leonard c. Burns, vice chairman of
the State AAA Committee, and J. S
Dyott. administrative assistant, dis
closed that in one Maryland town
two feed dealers, whose warehouses
are separated only by a railroad
siding. had posted prices of SILT
and s156 per 'bushel. respectively.
In two nearby towns with iden-
teal freight rates, he said. one
dealer was selling Government
wheat at Sl.l5 a bushel. while a
dealer in the next town was selling
the wheat for s210 a bushel.
The Government wheat sells to
dealers in Maryland at Sill a
bushel on the Eastern Shore, and
sll0 bushel in other sections.
Dealers are privileged to make their
own arrangements with farmers as
to charges for bags, delivery and
credit.
