P. 1, president of the North Dakota aity society, | who is here today attending a mect- ing of the railway commission. “Corn in my section of tne state; sells for $2.18,” said Mr. Johnson, “and the best we can get for our, wheat is $2. As a result, the stock men can see no advantage in exchang- ing a good bushel of wheat for less than a bushel of corn, and be e of this fact the very end at which the regulation of the wheat market was aimed is being defeated. This is not) true in only a few cases, but the fee ot wheat has ‘become a gener- al practice in the northwestern part of the state, where there {s practically no forage or roughage.” Should Regulate Price. ‘The remedy, in Mr. Johnson's esti- mation ihple. He doesn't ask a higher e for wheat, regarding that ter closed. He does fee) that the of corn should be red: “There is certainly no justice in com- pelling a North Dakota farmer who at the best will not average more than 15 or 16 bushels of wheat to the ace lo accept $2 the bushel, when the lowa, Kansas, Minois and Mis- souri corngrower, who can raise 40 to 50 bushels to the acre, is allowed | $2.18, or any higher price which he can command,” said Mr. Johnson. “There is no comparison in the value of the two crops for food purpose: If corn is worth $2.18, wheat is eas- ily worth $4.26, on the basis of food values. If wheat is worth but $2.20 at Chicago, corn certainly is not worth more than $1. Thousands of farmers, tenants and renters in the corn belt are getting rich off this one season's crop of corn. [ am glad they are, but it is not fair to us, nor to the nation at large, to compel us to feed to cattle and hogs the $2 wheat which cannot be saved for hu- man: consumption’ because the of corn is away out of our reac!
