S I am a wheat grower and have about 1,200 bushels yet to haul, and as a gen- eral peace seems near, I would like to know whether the government will let loose of the wheat as soon as the war is over and allow the grain gamblers to put the price where they please, or will the government hold the price up until the 1918 wheat is all hauled ? I have been told that the price fixed on wheat is only good until after the war. WILLIAM KOESTER. The present guaranteed minimum ~price for wheat holds for all of 1918 and has been continued by proclama- tion of the president for 1919. The wheat sold this year and the winter wheat now in the ground are sure of If peace were to be declared some time before the spring wheat planting in 1919 starts, a way might be found to remove the guar- antee on 1919 spring wheat, but even that is hardly likely. The minimum wheat. price guarantee is a good deal like the promise to pay Liberty bonds when they are due in that'the failure to do either one would amount to a damaging breach of public faith. The farmers ‘can feel certain that the promise will be kept no matter when the war stops. " PRICE-FIXING AGAIN Greeley, Neb. HY did Uncle Sam set a price on wheat and live hogs and not control the price on flour and meat? We pay $8.25 for 48 pounds of Victory flour and from 55 to 70 cents a pound for bacon here. C. H. TUCKER. The ‘government has, of courée, made some effort to control the price of flour, and the profits of the packers are supposed to be limited somewhat. The big difference in comparative re- sults is probably fully explained by ' the fact that on the other side of wheat and live hogs are just farmers who have no' real voice in political control; whereas between wheat and the consumer and the hog and the consumer are the parties who have the political power. The government could fairly easily set a price for duction, but for flour it had to allow all- costs and a fat profit.. The gov- ernment this year holds the millers to a fixed margin above the cost of the wheat which allows a good profit and in addition there are means of hidden profits. The regulations, for instance, allow more wheat than is necessary to make a barrel of flour. Congress gave the president power to fix only two prices, wheat and coal, and congress can not explain to the public why it stopped there because the real reason is that given above. INDEMNITY FOR TUBERCULAR CATTLE THE 1919 agricultural appropria- tion bill which has just passed congress provides that the federal government shall pay indemnity to owners whose cattle are slaughtered because they are found to have tuber- culosis. The department of agricul- ference between the appraised value of the cattle and the salvage 'value -after slaughter. No payment, how- ever, is tosbe more than $25 for any grade animal or more than $50 for ‘any ‘purebred animal, and none is to “be made unlesg the owner has com- plied with all quarantme regulations. 'Another provision is'that the state, county or municipality in which the 5 operate in. the antx-tuberculous work wheat which was under cost of pro- . ture is to pay one-third of the dif-- _cattle are owned and kept must co- "The Farmer and the Government Rules and Regulations Affecting the Farmers Explained g and Commented On. and pay at least an equal amount to the owner. The provision is expected to remove much of the opposition to tuberculosis "eradication work as it has been car- ried on, but the department has suf- ficient leeway to handle it very poorly for the farmer. The practice may not measure up to the first promise. NEW YORK FARMERS IN -WOOL POOL HROUGH information furnished by the farm bureaus, 23 counties in New York state marketed 456,766 pounds of wool co-operatively through county wool associations at full gov- ernment prices. . Farmers say, they have saved from 5 to 7 cents a pound by pooling their wool, and it is thought possible that next year the county associations will federate into a state organization, with all the wool being sold through a single commit- tee. Official government graders vis- ited the counties and fixed in the minds of the farmers-a standard to- ward which to work, as well as dem- onstrating the value of kegping high- grade stock. CUTTING UNDER WHEAT PRICE FARMERS in many sections are losing money through the fact that the local elevators are using the car shortage as an excuse for cutting under the minimum prices on wheat. L. J. Crow of Goodrich, N. D., for in- stance, writes that the local elevator is now offering $2 for wheat that: fornterly brought $2.03. The elevators in many sections are probably overcrowded, due to short- age of cars, and the Government Grain corporation has sent out warn- ings that the farmers should try to hold their wheat rather, than sell it for less than the mmlmum The promise is that so soon as the car shortage is relieved, the corporatxon will make good on its duty of main- taining the minimum price. The chief means which the gram corporatlon has of maintaining prices is to buy enough in the open market to make the minimum the ruling price, or to buy directly from the farmef where the elevator refuses to pay the minimum. North Dakota farmers would prob- ably find it worth while to report their experience of this kind to the board of grain inspection at Bismarck. In the other states as yét the farmers do not have a voice in the government. WAR REGULATIONS REMOVED NEWSPAPER reports from Wash- — ington state that buymg of sub- stitutes with wheat flour is no longer necessary. The war industries board also approves the sale for road pur- poses of asphalt, road binders, road oils, tar binders and dressings. The restrictions on many uses of tinplate for cans is also removed.” The auto- mobile manufacturers are to resume normal operations at least by.Janu- ary 1. Many other restrictions will probably be lifted in the near future. LIMITS TO WAR LEGISLATION THE acts of congress passed to A promote war efficiency carried the following timitations: Control of railroads to 21 months after the war. z Control ‘of telegraphs ‘and tele- phones for duration of the war.
